U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday extended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, reportedly at Pakistan's request, to allow Tehran's leadership more time to prepare a unified proposal to end the conflict. The announcement came just hours before the original two-week ceasefire was due to expire.

According to official figures, about 9,000 Indians, including students, were in Iran when the conflict began on February 28, and around 1,800 have since returned to India.

The war reportedly started after a joint U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran on February 28, which killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior commanders, prompting retaliatory strikes that widened the conflict across the Gulf region.
