Indian Embassy Urges Citizens to Leave Iran Immediately Despite Ceasefire; Helpline Numbers Issued

The Indian Embassy in Tehran issued a fresh advisory on Wednesday asking Indian nationals to exit Iran "expeditiously." The message builds on an earlier notice released on April 7, but officials now stress that recent developments have increased the urgency of departure.

Indian Embassy Issue Advisory for Citizens in Iran: Exit Urged Amid Ceasefire

Authorities have made it clear that while a ceasefire is in place, it does not guarantee safety. The truce is being seen as fragile, with the possibility of renewed tensions if diplomatic talks fail.

The embassy has advised that all exits should be planned in coordination with officials to ensure safety. Citizens have been asked to avoid making independent travel decisions, especially in sensitive or conflict-prone areas.

In its communication, the embassy emphasised that Indian nationals should use only the routes recommended by authorities and remain in close contact with officials throughout their journey.

Indian Embassy in Iran Urges Caution on Travel Routes to Neighbouring Countries

Officials have strongly cautioned against approaching international land borders without prior approval. Border regions may witness sudden changes in security conditions, making unplanned travel risky.

The advisory highlights that any movement towards neighbouring countries must be done only after consulting the embassy to avoid exposure to potential conflict zones or disruptions.

US-Iran Ceasefire: Temporary Relief, Not Full Safety

The advisory comes in the backdrop of a temporary ceasefire announced by Donald Trump between the United States and Iran. The two-week pause in military action is expected to provide a brief window for diplomatic engagement.

However, officials underline that the situation remains fluid, and the ceasefire may not hold if negotiations between the two sides break down. As a result, Indian nationals have been urged not to delay their departure.
