Indian medical students studying in Iran have shared chilling accounts of a night filled with bombings and blackouts as tensions between Iran and Israel erupted into violence. Speaking from their hostels, students described how explosions shattered the night’s silence and plunged entire neighborhoods into darkness.
“The war wasn’t on TV, it was outside my window,” said one student, recalling the terrifying sounds of airstrikes and the sight of smoke rising from nearby areas. Many students reported huddling in basements or hallways for safety as sirens blared and emergency services rushed through the streets.
Electricity cuts added to the panic, leaving large sections of cities without power and communication disruptions making it difficult for students to contact families back home.
Indian authorities are in touch with their nationals and are monitoring the situation closely. Meanwhile, families in India remain anxious as they await updates from their loved ones.
The night’s events have left students shaken but hopeful that peace efforts will bring an end to the hostilities. As tensions continue, calls for calm and restraint have grown stronger across the international community.
