New Delhi: India on Wednesday issued a fresh advisory urging its citizens in Iran to leave the country at the earliest possible opportunity. The advisory was issued by the Embassy of India in Tehran, which strongly advised Indian nationals to exit the war-affected nation using the designated routes suggested by the mission.
In a post on X, the Indian embassy reiterated its guidance for citizens to leave Iran while strictly following the instructions provided by the diplomatic mission.
“It is again reiterated that there should be no attempt to approach any international land border without prior consultation and coordination with the Embassy,” the mission said, cautioning nationals against travelling independently to border crossings.

Indian authorities continue to monitor the evolving situation and remain in close contact with citizens in Iran to facilitate safe movement and assistance if required.
The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire Tuesday about an hour before Donald Trump's deadline to "obliterate" the rival country was set to expire.
The agreement came after Trump said he had spoken to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his Army Chief Asim Munir, who had requested a truce.
