What’s happening in Iran?

The conflict began when the United States and Israel attacked Iran for finalising a nuclear deal. The Trump-led US gave a deadline of 10 days to Iran, and when the latter didn’t comply, it launched an attack on Iran along with Israel.

Iran launched retaliatory strikes by attacking the military bases of the United States in many countries, such as Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. The war is getting rapidly intensive, and many Gulf countries have become a part of it.

The situation has prompted the Indian embassy to share the necessary helpline numbers and urge the Indian citizens in Tehran to stay safe and avoid movement outside the country without proper coordination.
