After fresh escalations between the United States and Iran reignited safety concerns in West Asia, the Embassy of India in Tehran on Sunday issued an advisory to citizens living or planning to travel to the country.

In its advisory, the Indian embassy has urged citizens to avoid travelling to the country in light of the increase in "levels of instability and conflict in Iran."

The advisory shared by the embassy on its X account states, "Indian nationals intending to travel to Iran for any purpose should postpone travel for the time being, until the security environment improves."

The embassy also advised the Indians currently in Iran to consider temporarily exiting the country, using available flight options.

For those who chose to stay in the West Asian country, the embassy advised to "exercise the highest possible level of caution."

"They should carefully monitor the news to maintain full situational awareness, and should avoid locations seeing higher levels of military activity such as those along the southern coast of the country. Instructions issued by local authorities should be complied with carefully," the advisory stated.
