Overview
- The Indian Embassy in Tehran, following Tuesday’s 48‑hour “stay put” notice, issued a fresh advisory Wednesday urging nationals to “expeditiously exit” Iran using routes the mission suggests.
- Officials repeated that no one should try to reach international land borders without prior clearance from embassy staff, citing the need for controlled, safe movement.
- Emergency support remains active through four helplines (+98 912 810 9115, +98 912 810 9109, +98 912 810 9102, +98 993 217 9359) and the consular email (cons.tehran@mea.gov.in) for routing and travel help.
- India has been moving people to neighboring Armenia and Azerbaijan for onward travel, and officials say 1,862 have transited so far, including 935 students and 472 fishermen.
- About 9,000 Indians were in Iran when fighting began on February 28, and roughly 1,800 have already returned, a scale that underpins the call for coordinated exits even as a limited ceasefire takes effect.
