Regional Tensions Escalate

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on X that "Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival." He emphasized that the mission would persist "for as many days as it takes to remove this threat."

In response, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated "Operation True Promise 3," targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centers. This large-scale drone and missile operation was conducted as direct retaliation against Israeli actions.

The Embassy urged Indian nationals not to panic but to exercise caution while maintaining contact with the Embassy in Tehran. They also requested individuals to provide their details through a specified link: https://forms.gle/cCLrLyzFkS2AZYEM8.
