INDIAN EMBASSY IN IRAN ADVISES AGAINST NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL
The Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued a strong advisory urging Indian citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Iran. This comes amid growing regional tensions and an increasingly volatile security environment in the Middle East.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE EMBASSY
In a recent press release, the embassy said:
“In view of the prevailing situation, Indian nationals are advised to avoid all non-essential travel to Iran for the time being. Those already in Iran are urged to exercise utmost caution, avoid crowded places, and stay in touch with the embassy.”
The advisory emphasizes that Indians in Iran should register with the embassy, remain vigilant, and follow all local laws and safety protocols.
WHY THE ADVISORY NOW?
While no specific incident was cited, the advisory likely stems from:
Ongoing geopolitical tensions between Iran and Western nations
Heightened risk of civil unrest or military escalations
