India Advises Nationals to Leave Iran Amid Escalating Protests and Security Concerns

Amid escalating anti-government protests and a deteriorating security situation in Iran, India has issued a fresh advisory urging all Indian nationals, including students, pilgrims, businesspersons, and tourists, to leave the country by available means, including commercial flights. The Ministry of External Affairs strongly advises against travel to Iran until further notice. The unrest, triggered by economic issues and currency devaluation, has spread nationwide, with reports of thousands of deaths and arrests. The Indian Embassy in Tehran has set up emergency helplines and urged citizens to stay cautious and maintain contact amid communication disruptions. The situation has also drawn international attention, with the US warning of possible military action.
