J&K CM appeals for evacuation of stranded students

India Jun 13, 2025

With things heating up between Israel and Iran, the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister's Office has asked India's Ministry of External Affairs to help evacuate Kashmiri students stranded in Iran. The crisis kicked off after Israel targeted Iranian sites, leading Iran to launch over 100 drones at Israel—making this the most intense face-off since the onset of the Middle Eastern crisis in 2023.

Families on edge

The situation has everyone on edge, especially families back home who haven't heard any official updates from the Indian government about their kids' safety. Even the US is pulling some staff out of the region as a precaution. For many young people studying abroad, these events are a reminder of how quickly global conflicts can hit close to home.
