Tensions in Iran have reached a fever pitch with violent clashes marking nearly three weeks of nationwide protests. In response, India’s diplomatic mission in Tehran has rolled out a critical safety bulletin, imploring all Indians present—be they students pursuing studies, pilgrims on spiritual journeys, business professionals, or leisure tourists—to exit the country without delay via commercial means.
Reiterating an earlier advisory from January 5, 2025, the embassy warns of the fluid and hazardous environment. Citizens are instructed to steer clear of demonstration sites, maintain constant contact with embassy officials, and track developments through local news outlets. Essential travel documents must be secured at all times.
The unrest has claimed over 2,000 lives and led to 20,000 detentions across 280+ hotspots, with internet shutdowns persisting for more than a week, hampering outreach. Emergency contacts include mobile lines +989128109115, +989128109109, +989128109102, +989932179359, and email [email protected].
Unregistered Indians should sign up promptly at https://www.meaers.com/request/home, accessible also via the embassy website. Those facing connectivity issues are encouraged to have relatives in India complete the process.
As the situation unfolds, New Delhi remains vigilant, underscoring the paramount importance of citizen safety in volatile regions worldwide.
