The Indian government has urged its citizens currently living in Iran to leave the country at the earliest as the security situation continues to worsen following widespread anti-government protests and a forceful crackdown by authorities.
In a fresh advisory, the Indian Embassy in Tehran asked all Indian nationals — including students, pilgrims, businesspersons and tourists — to depart using any available mode of transport, including commercial flights. The embassy also cautioned those remaining in the country to stay vigilant and steer clear of protest sites.
