As the conflict intensifies in West Asia, the Embassy of India in Iran has issued a fresh and urgent advisory asking all Indian nationals in the country to remain indoors for the next 48 hours. The embassy has cautioned citizens to avoid electric installations, military locations and upper floors of multi-storey buildings due to heightened risks.
Reiterating earlier instructions, the embassy said, “In continuation of previous advisories, Indian nationals who are still in Iran must stay where they are for the next 48 hours, avoiding all electric, military installations and upper floors of multi-storey buildings, remaining indoors, and coordinating any highway movement strictly with the Embassy.”
Indians staying in embassy-arranged accommodation have been told not to leave their rooms and stay in constant touch with embassy teams stationed at those hotels.

The embassy has also urged all Indian nationals to monitor official announcements closely and follow instructions without delay. Emergency helpline numbers remain active round the clock to support citizens needing assistance.

Trump’s big warning to Iran
This came hours after US President Donald Trump asked Iran to reach an agreement before his Tuesday deadline, cautioning that failure to do so could trigger irreversible devastation. In a strongly worded post on Truth Social, Trump declared, “A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I donโt want that to happen, but it probably will.” He described the coming hours as “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World,” suggesting that the consequences of inaction could be historic.
“We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!” Trump added.ย
White House denies considering nuclear strikes on Iran
Meanwhile, the White House on Tuesday denied reports that it is considering the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as tensions continue to escalate in the region. The clarification came just hours after US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning, claiming that “a whole civilisation will die” if Iran fails to reopen the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz by the deadline set for Tuesday. Trump has repeatedly threatened large-scale strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, if Tehran does not comply, raising fears of a broader conflict.
