The Embassy of India in Tehran on Tuesday issued a fresh advisory amid escalating tensions in West Asia, confirming that most Indian students in Tehran have been relocated to safer locations outside the capital due to heightened security risks.

According to the advisory, the Embassy arranged transportation, food and accommodation for the students. Only a small number of students who declined assistance continue to remain in Tehran. The mission reiterated its earlier guidance for Indian nationals still in Iran, stay indoors as far as possible, avoid windows, exercise caution, steer clear of protest sites, and remain in regular contact with the Embassy through designated helplines and email.
