'We Haven't Slept in Days': Indian Students in Iran Beg for Evacuation Amid Israel Air Strikes
As tensions between Israel and Iran spiral following Israel's ballistic strikes on June 12, hundreds of Indian students studying in Iran are pleading with the Indian government for evacuation. MBBS students at Tehran's Shahid Beheshti University and other institutions report terrifying nights, with explosions as close as 5 km from their hostels. 'We haven't slept in three days,' said 22-year-old Imtisal Mohidin from Kashmir. Students in cities like Tehran and Kerman are holed up in basements, unable to move, surviving with stored water and patchy internet. Several fear the worst as blasts and gunshots continue. With Iranian airspace restricted and universities suspending classes, the panic is spreading fast. While the Indian Embassy is in touch through WhatsApp and Telegram, many now await flights home to escape the looming danger. The plea is simple: 'Evacuate us before it's too late.'#iranisraelwar #indianstudentsiniran #evacuationrequest #tehranstrikes #indianembassyiran #iranconflict2025 #israelirancrisis #studentplea #globaltensions #mbbsstudentsabroad #IsraelIranTensions #EvacuateNow #IranCrisis #ModiGovernment #IndianEmbassy #TehranStrikes #StudentVoices #IranUpdates #MedicalStudentsAbroad #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
