**Iran’s Unrest: Indian Foreign Minister Discusses Situation with Iran’s Counterpart**
In light of escalating unrest in Iran, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi reached out to India’s Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar, to discuss the current situation. Jaishankar confirmed the phone conversation via a post on his X account, stating, “Received a call from Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi. We discussed the evolving situation in and around Iran.”
This dialogue follows an advisory from the Indian Embassy in Iran urging all Indian nationals—including students, pilgrims, businesspersons, and tourists—to leave the country using available means, such as commercial flights. The advisory comes as the death toll from ongoing protests against the Khamenei regime has tragically risen to 2,500.
The embassy’s advisory emphasized the importance of having travel and immigration documents, including passports and IDs, readily available. It also encouraged Indian citizens to maintain contact with the embassy and stay informed through local media. “All Indian nationals in Iran are requested to exercise due caution, avoid areas of protests or demonstrations, and monitor local developments,” the advisory stated.
In a related appeal, the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister Jaishankar to take immediate action to evacuate Kashmiri students stranded in Iran amid the deteriorating security situation.
The political turmoil in Iran has intensified as protests against the Khamenei government, initially sparked by soaring inflation and currency devaluation, have now entered their 20th day. The unrest has led to violent clashes in over 280 locations, significantly increasing the death toll.
In a separate development, U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Iranian protesters to seize control of their institutions, assuring them that assistance is forthcoming. Additionally, the Trump administration has advised some personnel to evacuate the U.S.-run Al Udeid Air Base as a precautionary measure, following Iran’s warning to neighboring countries hosting U.S. military bases.
As the situation in Iran continues to evolve, the international community watches closely, with implications for regional stability and diplomatic relations.
