Due to rising tensions in Iran, the Indian Embassy issued a new travel warning for Indian citizens in the country on February 23, 2026. The embassy strongly advises all Indians to leave Iran as soon as possible using available transport options, such as commercial flights. This alert follows a previous warning given on January 14 of this year, urging Indian nationals and People of Indian Origin (PIO) to be cautious, avoid protest areas, keep in contact with the embassy, and stay informed through local news.
The embassy also emphasized the importance of having travel documents, including passports and identification cards, ready for emergencies. For those needing help with these documents, it is best to contact the embassy.
