Tehran : As the death toll in Iran protests crossed 2,500, the Indian Embassy in Iran asked all nationals – including students, pilgrims, businesspersons and tourists – to leave the country. The situation in the country has taken a turn for the worse, with weeks-long protests showing no signs of slowing down. Iranian officials have accused the US and Israel of destabilising the country by instigating protesters, blaming the deaths on “terrorist operatives.
Indians have now been urged to exercise extreme caution, avoid protest areas, stay in touch with the Indian Embassy in Tehran, keep travel and identification documents ready, and monitor local developments. Those not registered with the Embassy have been asked to do so at the earliest, while emergency helpline numbers and email support have been activated for assistance.
All Indian nationals in Iran are requested to also have their travel and immigration documents, including passports and IDs, readily available with them. They are requested to contact the Indian Embassy for any assistance in this regard,” read the advisory. It is reiterated that all Indian citizens and PIOS should exercise due caution, avoid areas of protests or demonstrations, stay in contact with the Indian Embassy in Iran and monitor local media for any developments, the advisory further read.
