"Land Borders Open": Iran On India's Request For Evacuation Of Students

Iran on Monday responded to India's request for the safe evacuation of Indian students stuck in Iranian cities as Israel continued its bombing of targets in the Islamic Republic. Tehran said that though the airspace is closed over Iran, all land borders are open for the safe evacuation of Indian nationals. In its response, the Foreign Minister of Iran gave the green light to India's diplomatic mission and extended help for the safe evacuation of diplomats and civilians. "Given the current condition and the closure of the country's airports, as well as the request of many political missions to transfer their diplomats and nationals abroad, we inform that all land borders are open for crossing," it said.
