“In light of the recent developments in the region, the embassy reiterates its previous advice to all Indian citizens to avoid any travel to Iran,” the embassy said.
India on Monday advised its citizens to avoid traveling to Iran and asked those currently in the country to leave by available means of transport, as new military exchanges between Israel and Iran exacerbated tensions across the region.
In a warning issued by the Indian Embassy in Tehran, the government said it was repeating its previous warning in light of recent developments.
“In light of the recent developments in the region, the embassy reiterates its previous advice to all Indian citizens to avoid any travel to Iran,” the embassy said.
She added that Indian citizens currently in Iran have been advised to “exit the country using available means of transportation.”
This warning came hours after Israel and Iran exchanged new strikes, raising concerns about renewed escalation in the Middle East.
Israeli forces carried out strikes on multiple targets in Iran early Monday, including a petrochemical facility in Mahshahr in the southwest of the country, according to reports. Iran responded with missile attacks targeting military sites in Israel, with both sides reporting military operations overnight.
The recent exchange of fire represents one of the most important escalations since a ceasefire was reached in April after weeks of war between the two countries.
India has issued several warnings about travel to Iran since tensions rose in the region earlier this year. The latest notice is among the strongest issued by New Delhi, advising Indians already in the country to leave rather than simply be cautious.
