'Rise in instability in Iran': Indian embassy sounds alarm; urges people to leave, postpone travel
Indian Embassy in Iran issued a revised travel advisory on July 19, 2026, urging Indian nationals to postpone all travel to Iran.
The Embassy advised Indians already in Iran to consider temporarily leaving using available commercial flights due to deteriorating security.
The advisory cited an increase in instability and conflict in Iran amid escalating military hostilities between the United States and Iran.
Indian nationals choosing to remain in Iran were urged to exercise high caution, monitor local news, and avoid areas with increased military activity, especially along the southern coast.
The Embassy asked all unregistered Indian nationals in Iran to register immediately and follow official updates.
