#Spotlight: Unrest in Iran intensified as nationwide protests entered their third week, prompting India to prepare contingency plans to evacuate its citizens. The government issued fresh advisories, activated emergency helplines, and urged Indians to avoid travel to Iran until further notice. More than 10,000 Indians, including students and pilgrims, remained in the country amid tightened security and internet disruptions.
