Tension between the US, Israel and Iran escalating steadily, anxiety is mounting among Indian students stranded in Iranian cities. Among them is Musa Raus – a student from Srinagar currently studying medicine at Urmia University — who says the situation on the ground remains tense and unpredictable.
Speaking exclusively to NDTV, Raus described an atmosphere of uncertainty, with students relying largely on university advisories while remaining confined indoors.
“It is pretty tense, to be honest,” Raus said. “Everything is uncertain. Yesterday morning and night there were explosions.”
The students, he said, have repeatedly heard fighter jets and explosions, particularly during the night.
“We can hear jets followed by explosions from around the city. Around 2 am, we heard very loud sounds. The explosions felt very close to us, maybe three or four kilometres away,” he said.
