The Indian embassy in Tehran has issued a fresh advisory for Indian nationals as protests rage in Iran. In continuation of its earlier advisory dated January 5, 2025, the embassy urged Indian nationals who are currently in Iran – students, pilgrims, business persons and tourists – to leave by available means of transport, including commercial flights. The embassy stated that this was in view of the evolving situation in the country.
The embassy reiterated for all Indian citizens and PIOs in Iran to exercise due caution, and asked them to stay aware from areas where protests or demonstrations are underway. The citizens have been urged to remain in contact with the Indian Embassy in Iran and monitor local media reports for any developments.
The embassy urged Indian nationals to keep their immigration documents available. “All Indian nationals in Iran are requested to also have their travel and immigration documents, including passports and IDs, readily available with them. They are requested to contact the Indian Embassy for any assistance in this regard,” the advisory said.
