India advises citizens to avoid nonessential travel to Iran

The Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued a revised travel advisory, urging its citizens to continue avoiding all nonessential travel to Iran despite acknowledging recent improvements in the country's security situation. The advisory, issued on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, maintains a stance of caution for Indian nationals already in Iran or those who must travel for unavoidable reasons.

While the embassy stated it has been closely monitoring developments and noted positive changes, it advised that risks persist. Indian citizens residing in Iran or traveling for essential purposes are instructed to exercise a high degree of caution, remain vigilant, and maintain constant situational awareness. They are further advised to follow local developments through credible sources and comply with instructions from local authorities.

A key component of the advisory is a strong recommendation for all Indian nationals in Iran, as well as new arrivals, to register their details with the embassy. The mission also provided emergency contact numbers and an email address for assistance and urged citizens to regularly monitor its official website and social media for updates.
