India has urged its citizens and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) living in Tehran to leave the city without delay if they can arrange travel on their own. The Indian Embassy in Tehran also asked those who haven’t registered yet to get in touch immediately and provide their current location and contact details.The advisory included three emergency helpline numbers: +98 9010144557, +98 9128109115, and +98 9128109109.

This warning comes as the conflict between Israel and Iran entered its fifth day, with both countries carrying out heavy airstrikes. So far, Iran has reported 224 deaths, mostly civilians, while Israel has reported 24 civilian deaths and has evacuated around 3,000 people.

Due to rising tensions, India has started evacuating its citizens from Iran. The first group of 110 Indians crossed into Armenia late Monday night. India has also requested Iran to help safely evacuate over 10,000 students still in the country. Since Iran’s airspace is closed, Tehran has suggested that students leave through land borders with Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, or Afghanistan.

About Conflict

Israel and Iran continued to attack each other for the fifth day in a row on Tuesday. Iranian media reported loud explosions and active air defence systems in Tehran, with smoke rising in the eastern part of the city after suspected Israeli airstrikes. Air defences were also activated in Natanz, a key nuclear site located about 320 km from Tehran, according to the Asriran news website.

In Israel, sirens went off in Tel Aviv after midnight, but there were no confirmed missile hits. Iran has asked Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia to convince U.S. President Donald Trump to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire, sources told Reuters. In return, Iran hinted it might show more flexibility in ongoing nuclear talks, according to Iranian and regional officials.

Meanwhile, President Trump, who left the G7 Summit in Canada early, held a security meeting with top officials to discuss the growing conflict in the Middle East. Earlier in the day, Trump posted a warning on his social media platform urging people to leave Tehran. He wrote, “IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.”
