Amid rising regional instability, the Indian Embassy in Iran has issued a strong advisory urging Indian nationals to avoid non-essential travel to the country. Citing the rapidly evolving security situation, the embassy has asked citizens to stay updated with the latest developments and follow advisories from Indian authorities.
“In view of the security-related developments over the past several weeks, Indian nationals are advised to carefully consider the evolving situation before undertaking non-essential travel to Iran,” the embassy said in a statement posted on X.

The advisory further stated that Indians currently in Iran who wish to leave should utilize available commercial flight and ferry options.
This caution follows heightened tensions in the region, sparked by Israel’s launch of “Operation Rising Lion” last month against Iran. In retaliation, Iran launched airstrikes targeting Israel and a U.S. military base in Qatar. The U.S. responded by striking three locations in Iran, aligning itself with Israel’s mission to dismantle Iran’s alleged nuclear ambitions—a claim Tehran has consistently denied.
The 12-day conflict saw intense hostilities before a unilateral ceasefire was declared by U.S. President Donald Trump, temporarily halting the clashes.
