India has established a special control room in New Delhi to aid citizens during the escalating US-Israel strikes on Iran. The control room, operating from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Indian time), can be reached via toll-free number 1800118797 or landlines +91-11-23012113, +91-11-23014104, +91-11-23017905.
Emergency embassy contacts for countries like Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, and the UAE have also been provided. Iran’s retaliatory strikes have affected multiple countries, with missiles and drones intercepted over Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, leading to temporary airspace closures and casualties, both military and civilian.
The confrontation has intensified, with US forces launching counter-strikes, including naval operations, in what marks a significant and prolonged face-off between Washington and Tehran. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Modi, was briefed on the air strikes in Iran on February 28 and the subsequent developments in the Middle East, focusing on the security of Indian citizens in the region.
