In the midst of chaos, an estimated nine thousand Indians reside in Iran and are at risk.

As per the statement, few students declined the option of evacuation by the Embassy and, decided to remain in Tehran.

Indian nationals and students have been asked to stay inside and away from windows as long as the conditions don’t change. In case of necessity, avoid protest areas and remain in constant contact with the Embassy of India in Iran, the advisory said.

The embassy also said that the Indians are asked to keep up to date with the news, be aware of the surroundings and wait for further guidance from the Indian mission in Tehran.
