India has issued a fresh travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid travelling to Iran until further notice and advising those already in the country to leave at the earliest opportunity using available commercial transport options, Ada Derana reported on Monday citing NDTV.
The advisory was issued by the Embassy of India in Tehran in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and comes as Iran and Israel resumed direct missile exchanges after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted Israel’s Ramat David Airbase on Sunday and Israel responded with strikes on military and petrochemical sites in western and central Iran.
The embassy advised nationals in Iran to remain in close contact with embassy officials and to coordinate any departure plans through authorised channels. Citizens have also been warned against independently approaching international land borders without prior consultation and guidance from the mission, citing the evolving security situation.
“In view of the latest developments in the region, the Embassy reiterates its earlier advice to all Indian Nationals to avoid any travel to Iran,” the advisory said on X.
The Embassy of India has requested all Indian nationals currently in Iran to register with the mission to facilitate communication and assistance. Officials said the embassy was closely monitoring the situation and remained available to provide guidance, emergency support and information on safe travel options.
For those unable to leave immediately, the embassy recommended restricting movement to an absolute minimum, avoiding public gatherings and crowded places, maintaining high vigilance and staying in regular contact with consular officials. While no formal evacuation operation has been announced, authorities stressed the importance of departing while commercial services remain available — a caveat that has acquired new weight since Iran suspended operations at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport earlier on Monday.
