Indian Students Return from Iran Amid Conflict, Future Uncertain
India is helping students get back home from Iran because things are dangerous there.
They are using a special plan called Operation Sindhu.
The students were scared because they saw explosions and other scary events.
Now they are home, but don't know what they will do next for school.
