Overview
- The Indian Embassy in Tehran posted a March 9 advisory on X instructing nationals not to approach any land border without prior coordination.
- Movement toward border crossings should occur only after receiving explicit guidance from the embassy, the notice said.
- The embassy cautioned it cannot assist individuals who exit Iran and are then unable to enter a third country.
- Emergency contacts were shared for consular support: +98-9128109115, +98-9128109102, +98-9128109109, +98-9932179359, and cons.tehran@mea.gov.in.
