Recent Developments in the Israel-Iran Conflict
Earlier this week, Israel launched attacks targeting Iran’s nuclear, missile, and military infrastructures in an operation dubbed "Operation Rising Lion." Iran retaliated swiftly, launching strikes against Israel that resulted in the deaths of at least three people and injuries to dozens more.
Given the volatility of the situation, the Indian Embassy is closely monitoring developments to ensure the safety of all Indian nationals present in the affected areas.
