New Delhi: India has issued a fresh advisory urging its citizens in Iran to leave the country at the earliest, even as a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran raises concerns over the region’s stability.
The advisory follows an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a two-week ceasefire with Iran, aimed at easing escalating tensions in the Middle East. While the development has sparked hopes of diplomatic resolution, uncertainty remains over the situation after the ceasefire period ends.
In a statement posted on X, the Embassy of India in Tehran advised Indian nationals to exit Iran using designated routes at the earliest opportunity. It also cautioned citizens against attempting to reach international borders without prior consultation with the embassy.
The mission provided emergency contact numbers and an email helpline to assist Indians in the region. Officials emphasized the importance of staying in touch with authorities and following official guidance amid the evolving security situation.
The latest advisory came hours after the ceasefire announcement. Earlier, the embassy had instructed Indian citizens to remain indoors for 48 hours, avoid military installations, power infrastructure, and upper floors of high-rise buildings as a precautionary measure.
The warning also follows heightened rhetoric from Washington, with Trump cautioning Iran over the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and signaling severe consequences if tensions escalate further.
The situation continues to remain volatile, with Indian authorities prioritizing the safety and evacuation of their citizens from the conflict-affected region.
