June 17, 2025: As the conflict between Iran and Israel got worse on Tuesday, all Indian citizens who were in Tehran were asked to get in touch with the Indian Embassy right away and provide their location as well as their phone numbers. 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.
