The Indian embassy in Tehran of Iran has issued an advisory for all Indian nationals staying in the country amid relentless strikes from the United States and Israel since February 28. Amid airspace closure and anticipating desperation to leave Iran, the Indian embassy has asked the Indian nationals to not cross over any land border for onward travel without a cordination with the embassy.
In a warning to the Indian nationals who have attempted to cross borders, the Indian embassy said that those nationals have encountered “serious logistical and immigration difficulties.”
It said, “Embassy will not be in a position to provide assistance once individuals move outside Iranian territory without prior coordination.”
