Indian Nationals presently in Iran are also advised to exit the country by available means of transport.”The advisory applies to all Indian citizens currently in Iran, including students, businesspersons, pilgrims and tourists. This is the 8th Indian advisory issued during the ongoing Iran-US-Iran conflict.Hours after the ceasefire announcement in April, the Indian Embassy in Tehran had issued an advisory, asking its nationals to “expeditiously” leave the war-torn country. It had also launched a helpline number to accelerate the process. The sense was to use the window of ceasefire to exit in case things flare up again.Around 7,500 Indian nationals still remain in Iran. Earlier, the Embassy has facilitated the exit of thousands of Indian citizens from Iran through the land border with Armenia and Azerbaijan.© The Indian Express Pvt LtdStay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on InstagramAdvertisementLoading Recommendations...Advertisement
