India Urges Citizens to Leave Iran Amid Ongoing Developments
The Indian Embassy in Tehran issued a notice on February 23 urging Indian citizens in Iran to leave the country via available routes, including commercial flights, due to "ongoing developments."
The advisory, which follows a previous government warning on January 5, 2026, applies to Indian students, pilgrims, traders and tourists. It reiterates a January 14 recommendation for all Indian citizens and people of Indian origin to exercise caution, avoid protest sites and gatherings, remain in contact with the embassy and monitor local media.
The embassy emphasized that citizens should keep travel documents and identity papers, including passports and ID cards, readily accessible and contact the mission for assistance if needed. It noted that in case of internet disruptions in Iran preventing registration, family members in India can register on their behalf.
The notice comes amid reports that the United States issued a 48-hour deadline the previous day for Iran to accept a nuclear deal. According to the reports cited, the US has deployed advanced military equipment around Iran, with many anticipating the possibility of another war.
