The Indian embassy in Tehran on Tuesday advised citizens to consider the situation in Iran before undertaking non-essential travel to the country.

The embassy also urged Indian citizens to continue to monitor the developments in West Asia and follow advisories issued by the authorities before visiting Iran.

“Indian nationals already in Iran, and interested in leaving, may avail the commercial flight and ferry options which are available right now,” said the diplomatic mission.

It was unclear what had triggered the fresh advisory.

In June, Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire following a 12-day conflict in June.

During the conflict, New Delhi had asked Indians to leave Iran and especially evacuate Tehran.

More than 4,400 Indians had been evacuated from Iran and Israel amid the conflict, the Ministry of External Affairs had said on June 26.

On June 13, the Israeli military struck what it claimed were nuclear targets, and also other sites, in Iran with the aim of stalling Tehran’s nuclear programme. Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israel.

After 12 days of hostilities, Israel and Iran on June 24 agreed to a proposal by the United States for a ceasefire, which appears to have held so far. Washington is an ally of Israel and acts as a guarantor of the country’s security.

On June 24, New Delhi welcomed the ceasefire, adding that it remained “deeply concerned about the prospects for overall and sustained regional security and stability”.

On July 10, the United States reiterated that American citizens should not travel to Iran for any reason, citing past instances of persons with dual citizenship having been “kidnapped and wrongfully arrested without warning or any evidence they committed a crime”.

Washington and Tehran do not have diplomatic relations.
