        "summary": "Indonesian university students evacuated from Iran report that their academic activities have been suspended since the outbreak of the US-Israel-Iran conflict, with all educational institutions closed due to national mourning and security instability. The students face compounded challenges including internet blackouts and uncertainty about when they can resume their studies, and they are calling on the Indonesian government to provide regulatory clarity and support for their interrupted education.",
        "content": "<p>The academic activities of Indonesian students in Iran have been\ninterrupted due to the ongoing military conflict involving the United\nStates, Israel, and Iran. Students who have been evacuated to Indonesia\nreport that classes halted from the beginning of Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClasses have been interrupted because the conflict started on the\n2nd of Ramadan,\u201d said Hukam (25), a first-year student of Islamic\nCivilisation History at Ahlul Bayt International University in Tehran,\nwhom we met at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Jakarta, on Tuesday\n(10 March 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Hukam stated that he is uncertain when lectures will resume given the\nvolatile security situation. \u201cIf this continues, I don\u2019t know if it will\ncontinue or come to a complete stop. I really hope the relevant ministry\ncan provide regulations so we can continue our education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond security concerns, the Iranian government has declared seven\ndays of national holiday and 40 days of national mourning for Supreme\nLeader Ali Khamenei, resulting in the closure of all educational\ninstitutions. The economic instability has further jeopardised his\neducational prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Another Indonesian national, Jawad (26), explained that Iranian\nsociety is currently focused on the conflict situation and\ncommemorations of the Supreme Leader\u2019s death. This has brought academic\nlife in major cities like Tehran to a complete standstill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation means national holidays, banks, schools\u2014everything is\nclosed,\u201d Jawad added.<\/p>\n<p>Communication access has also been severely compromised. The Iranian\nauthorities cut off international internet access since military\noperations began, making it difficult for students to access academic\ninformation. \u201cSince the first attack on 28 February at 10 a.m., the\nIranian government has disconnected international internet networks.\nApplications from non-Iranian companies like WhatsApp, Telegram,\nFacebook and others have been blocked,\u201d Jawad explained.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesian students now wait in their home country hoping for\nsolutions from the Iranian authorities. Whilst they hope to return once\nconditions stabilise, they need regulatory certainty from their\ngovernment to prevent their studies from being abandoned\nindefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf conditions become safe and the security status improves, God\nwilling, we will return,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
