India Tells Citizens to Leave Iran Amid Rising Security Concerns

The Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued an advisory urging all Indian nationals in Iran to leave the country immediately due to an evolving security situation. The advisory covers students, business travellers, tourists, and other Indian citizens residing in Iran.

Authorities have recommended that Indians use all available means of transport, including commercial flights, to depart safely. The decision comes amid growing regional tensions and concerns over potential unrest affecting public safety and stability.

The Indian government estimates that around 10,000 of its citizens are currently in Iran. Embassy officials have advised all nationals to stay vigilant, avoid crowded areas, and maintain regular contact with the embassy for updates. Citizens are also urged to keep their passports and identification documents ready for travel.

To assist Indian nationals during this period, the embassy has released emergency helpline numbers for urgent support. Citizens who have not yet registered with the embassy are encouraged to do so to receive timely alerts and guidance. Families in India are advised to help relatives in Iran stay connected with official updates.

The advisory underscores India’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens abroad amid uncertain geopolitical developments in the region.
