'Postpone travel to Iran': India issues fresh advisory, asks citizens to consider leaving

India on Sunday urged its citizens to postpone travel to Iran and advised those already in the country to consider leaving temporarily as the security situation worsens amid the escalating US-Iran conflict.

In a revised advisory, the Indian Embassy in Tehran said Indian nationals planning to travel to Iran should postpone their visit until the security environment improves.

"Indian nationals intending to travel to Iran for any purpose should postpone travel for the time being until the security environment improves," the embassy said.

The embassy noted that recent days had seen a sharp rise in instability and violence across Iran.

Those who decide to remain in Iran were urged to exercise extreme caution, closely monitor security developments, avoid areas witnessing military activity—especially along the southern coast—and strictly follow the instructions of local authorities.

The embassy also asked Indian citizens who have not yet registered with the mission to do so immediately and to regularly check its website and social media channels for updates.

Regional conflict fuels security concerns

The advisory comes as tensions continue to escalate across West Asia.

Iran has launched missiles and drones targeting US-linked facilities in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, while hostilities with Israel have also intensified.

Israel has warned it will respond with "full force" to any Iranian missile attacks targeting its territory, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.

Meanwhile, the United States has carried out fresh airstrikes on Iranian military targets after Iranian attacks killed US troops in Jordan, further escalating the conflict.
