296 Indians, 4 Nepalese evacuated amid Iran-Israel conflict

With things heating up between Israel and Iran, India just evacuated 296 of its citizens (plus four Nepalese nationals) from Iran.
This latest flight brings the total number of Indians brought home to over 3,150 under "Operation Sindhu," amid the ongoing conflict involving missile and drone attacks.

TL;DR

How 'Operation Sindhu' is unfolding

India's rescue plan covers all the bases—using Air Force C-17s to fly people out of Israel, plus land routes through Jordan and Egypt.
After Iran reopened its airspace on June 20, extra flights from places like Yerevan and Ashgabat were added.
It's a strong reminder that when a crisis hits abroad, India moves fast to look out for its people.
