The Indian Embassy in Tehran has shifted most of the Indian students out of the Iranian capital to safer locations inside the country, an official statement said on Tuesday.

In a post on X, the embassy wrote, "Due to the heightened risk perception in Tehran city, the Embassy of India has relocated most Indian students who were in Tehran to safer locations outside Tehran. The Embassy has made arrangements for their transportation, food, and accommodation. Only a small number of students who declined the Embassy's offer remain in Tehran."
