Event Summary

The India — Central Board of Secondary Education has postponed Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations scheduled for March 2, 5, and 6, 2026, in Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. This decision follows coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel on multiple locations in Tehran, which resulted in the death of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

The situation remains fluid, with authorities in multiple nations issuing advisories and taking precautionary measures.
