All Indian nationals in Tehran on Tuesday were requested to contact the Embassy of India immediately and provide their location and contact numbers, as the conflict between Iran and Israel intensified.

The Indian mission also advised all Indian nationals and PIOs who can move out of Tehran using their own resources, to move to a safe location outside the city.
