The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said Indian citizens are strongly advised not to travel to Iran “by air or land,” clarifying that the advisory supersedes any perception of improved travel conditions to the Islamic Republic.
Officials said continued airspace restrictions and operational uncertainties linked to regional developments are still impacting international flight operations to and from Iran.
In a separate advisory, the government urged all Indian nationals currently in Iran to leave the country through designated land border routes in close coordination with the Indian Embassy in Tehran.
The embassy has also issued emergency helpline numbers for assistance: +989128109115, +989128109102, +989128109109, and +989932179359. Citizens may also contact the embassy via email at [cons.tehran@mea.gov.in](mailto:cons.tehran@mea.gov.in), officials said.
