India Urges Citizens in Iran: Stay Indoors for 48 Hours, Avoid Military and Power Sites Amid Escalating Tensions
New Delhi, April 7 : With fears of new strikes looming over Iran, the Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued a strong safety advisory to all Indian nationals in the country. On Tuesday evening, the embassy urged Indians to stay where they are for the next 48 hours, avoid unnecessary travel, and keep a safe distance from military installations and electrical facilities.
The alert comes at a particularly sensitive time, as the 10-day deadline given by US President Donald Trump to Iran seems to be nearing its end. Trump had earlier warned on Truth Social that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” while suggesting that last-minute developments could still change the situation.
In its detailed advisory, the embassy has instructed citizens not to go onto upper floors of high-rise buildings as a precaution. Those staying in hotels arranged by the embassy have been specifically told to remain indoors and maintain regular contact with embassy staff present on-site.
“Stay indoors and keep in touch with on-site embassy teams,” the message emphasized. It further advised that any travel on highways should only occur after receiving clear guidance from the embassy.
Indian nationals have been urged to closely monitor official updates from the embassy and stay alert at all times. Emergency contact numbers — 989128109115, 989128109102, 989128109109, and 989932179359 — have been provided and are fully operational. An official email channel is also available for communication.
This latest advisory reflects India’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of its citizens in a rapidly changing and unstable situation. In recent weeks, the government has already helped thousands of Indians return from Iran as the conflict intensified.
The embassy has stressed the importance of following these instructions closely to avoid any risk during this critical period.
