Tehran: The Indian Embassy in Iran has issued a fresh advisory urging Indian citizens to avoid travelling to the country amid ongoing regional tensions and operational uncertainties affecting flight services.

In a post on X, the Embassy stated that Indians should refrain from travelling to Iran by any mode and advised those already in the country to leave in coordination with the mission.

The Embassy had earlier issued a similar advisory on April 8, urging Indian nationals to expeditiously leave Iran in view of evolving regional developments. The embassy also said that the exit must be coordinated with the Embassy.

Speaking in the Inter-Ministerial Briefing on recent developments in West Asia on Thursday, MEA Additional Secretary (Gulf) Aseem R Mahajan said that since February 28, around 12,12,000 passengers have travelled from the region to India.

"The overall flight situation continues to improve with additional flights operating from the region to various destinations in India. Since February 28th, around 12,12,000 passengers have traveled from the region to India. Airlines continue to operate limited commercial flights based on operational and safety considerations between the UAE and India. Today, around 110 flights are expected to operate from the UAE to India."
