As tensions escalate between Iran and Israel, the Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued additional helpline numbers for Indian citizens. Following Iran's unprecedented attack, launching 330 missiles and drones at Israel in retaliation for an alleged strike on its diplomatic installation in Damascus, concerns for citizen safety rise. The United States, France, Britain, and Jordan reportedly aided in intercepting the projectiles. US President Joe Biden plans to convene a Group of Seven meeting to coordinate a diplomatic response. India's Ministry of External Affairs urges de-escalation, advising citizens to refrain from travel to Iran or Israel and register with Indian embassies for safety precautions.
