Operation Sindhu: India Thanks Nations For Crucial Evacuation Support From Iran & Israel
India on Thursday expressed gratitude to the governments of Israel, Iran, Jordan, Egypt, Armenia, and Turkmenistan for their support in the evacuation efforts carried out under ongoing Operation Sindhu. Addressing a weekly media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal detailed that, India has so far mounted 14 flights to bring back its nationals from the warzone in Iran. He noted that flights operated from Iran, Armenia and Turkmenistan and the final flight from Armenia will land in New Delhi later this evening. Due to the closure of the Israeli airspace, Indian nationals were also taken to the bordering countries of Jordan and Egypt, from where they were flown back to India on special flights. "We would like to thank the governments of Israel, Jordan, and Egypt for their support in Operation Sindhu. We would also like to thank the government of Iran. As you know, we made a request and they opened their airspace for us to evacuate our nationals. We are grateful to the government of Iran for this special gesture. We are also thankful to the government of Turkmenistan and Armenia for helping us evacuate our people," said Jaiswal. India launched Operation Sindhu on June 18 to evacuate its nationals from Iran and Israel. "We have around 10,000 members of the Indian community in Iran and around 40,000 Indian nationals in Israel. From Iran, we have so far evacuated 3,426 Indian nationals, 11 OCI card holders, nine Nepalese nationals, some Sri Lankan nationals and one Iranian national who happened to be a spouse of an Indian national," the MEA spokesperson mentioned. "As far as Israel is concerned, we have so far evacuated 818 Indian nationals in four flights. Since the air space in Israel was closed, Indian nationals had to be taken to bordering countries of Jordan and Egypt. From both these countries they were put on special flights and brought back home," he added. India, he said, is currently assessing the situation on the ground before taking any decision on continuation of Operation Sindhu. "As far as Operation Sindhu is concerned, we are assessing the situation on the ground, and based on that, we will decide whether to continue with it or not. We will keep you updated in this regard. As you know, there is a ceasefire, and we have welcomed it," he remarked. The MEA on Thursday confirmed that a total of 275 people -- 272 Indian nationals and three Nepalese -- arrived safely in New Delhi from Mashhad, Iran, earlier in the day. "272 Indian and three Nepalese nationals were evacuated from Iran on a special flight that arrived in New Delhi from Mashhad at 00:01 hrs on 26th June. 3426 Indian nationals have been brought home from Iran as part of Operation Sindhu," Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson of MEA, posted on X. Additionally, the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Wednesday successfully evacuated 224 more Indian nationals from Israel, taking the total number of citizens brought back safely to 818, under Operation Sindhu. Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje greeted the Indian nationals upon their arrival in New Delhi. As 818 Indian nationals returned home from Israel as part of Operation Sindhu, the MEA reiterated that the safety and security of Indian nationals remains a top priority for the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Is it really truce in Middle East with Israel's unfulfilled war goals?
The ceasefire between Iran and Israel is seemingly hanging by a thread.A look at the chronology of events over the past two weeks points to a potential escalation in the near future, say experts.A day after Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities were struck, US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that if the current Iranian regime is unable to "Make Iran Great Again", a regime change would be The following day, on June 24, a ceasefire was announced between Iran and Israel, with Trump again claiming credit for the truce, just as he did during the flare-up between India and Pakistan in day passed, and Trump's stance, like a reed in the wind, shifted again. This time, the US President said he did not want Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's leadership to be replaced, stating, "Regime change takes chaos, and ideally we don't want to see so much chaos."On the matter of the US bombing of Iran's nuclear sites, the latter did admit that the sites were hit. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said, "Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure".But according to an early Pentagon intelligence assessment reported by the BBC, the three nuclear sites bombed by the US were not completely destroyed. The strikes have reportedly only delayed Tehran's nuclear program by a few familiar with the Defence Intelligence Agency told CBS, the BBC's US partner, that the Islamic Republic's stockpile of enriched uranium was not eliminated in Saturday's BBC also reported that Pentagon intelligence sources believe Iran's centrifuges are largely intact, with the damage limited to above-ground has rejected these claims, much as he did US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's March assertion that Iran was not building nuclear weapons. However, Gabbard later reversed her GOALS UNACHIEVEDIt's worth noting that when Operation Rising Lion began nearly a fortnight ago on June 13, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said that assassinating Khamenei would "end the conflict".Now, with the truce in place and Khamenei emerging from a bunker, one of Israel's two primary war-ending objectives remains his first public address since a brief war with Israel came to an end, Khamenei claimed victory over Israel and slammed the US for their direct involvement in the war, saying it was "a heavy slap to America's face".It must be noted that the war between Iran and Israel began soon after the Axis of Resistance (AoR) was weakened by Israeli and American Hage Ali, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Centre in Beirut, Lebanon, was quoted as saying in the New York Times, 'It (AoR) has been transformed into an axis of sitting ducks waiting for the next Israeli strikes rather than taking initiative and pushing Israel into the defence, as was the case just a few years ago.'advertisementAnalysts say Iran, feeling diminished regionally, yet possessing the potential to develop nuclear weapons, was bombed by Israel, which alleged it was just steps away from building nine nuclear bombs, though without conclusive evidence from either the US or despite being isolated due to its designation as a 'State Sponsor of Terrorism' by the US, and facing restrictions on financial systems and foreign aid, Iran has not bowed to US and Israeli the US has actually missed bombing Iran's nuclear facilities as reports suggest, especially the biggest one in Fordow, Israel's main goal of undermining Iran's nuclear ambitions also remains these developments, Iran has passed a bill effectively suspending its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a UN watchdog. Tehran argues that the IAEA's resolution, issued just a day before Israel's strikes, was politically motivated and claimed Iran was not meeting its nuclear safeguard a joint statement, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Atomic Energy Organisation condemned the resolution, saying it 'seriously undermines the credibility and integrity of the IAEA.'Tehran has repeatedly insisted that its nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes, and that its facilities were consistently monitored by the UN now, with threats mounting in a region surrounded by hostile neighbours, Iran may be compelled to develop nuclear weapons — an outcome that recent US strikes have reportedly only delayed by a few international oversight gone, Iran's next moves could inflame tensions with the West and Israel even more. Trump has already said that if Iran rebuilds its nuclear programme, the US will again launch Iran's secretariat of the supreme national security council said a statement carried by Iranian media outlet Fars, 'The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, without the slightest trust in the words of the enemies, and with their hands on the trigger, will be ready to give a decisive and regrettable response to any act of aggression by the enemy.'With two highly unpredictable allies facing off against a state that refuses to relent, the truce may prove exceptionally hard to maintain.- EndsMust Watch
