Amid the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, the Indian Embassy in Tehran on Thursday issued a fresh advisory asking Indian citizens to avoid travelling to Iran. The advisory also calls on those already present in the country to leave at the earliest using designated land border routes. The advisory comes in response to reports suggesting the possible resumption of some flight services between India and Iran. However, the government has made it clear that the situation remains uncertain.
“In view of reports of commencement of some flights between India and Iran, and in continuation of earlier advisories, Indian citizens are strongly advised not to travel to Iran, whether by air or land,” the advisory stated.ย
Airspace restrictions continue to impact travel
Authorities stated that ongoing regional tensions continue to disrupt international air travel. Airspace restrictions and operational challenges are still affecting flights to and from Iran, making travel conditions unpredictable, they added.ย
The advisory further emphasised that all Indian citizens currently in Iran should exit the country through officially designated land border points. This process must be carried out in close coordination with the Embassy to ensure safety and proper assistance, it added.ย
Emergency contact details released
To assist citizens, the Embassy has shared emergency contact numbers and communication channels for guidance and support. Indian nationals can reach out via the following mobile numbers: +989128109115, +989128109109, +989128109102, and +989932179359.
