India has urged its citizens in Iran to depart promptly, following embassy-recommended routes, despite the recent ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. The Indian Embassy in Tehran emphasized the need for Indian nationals still in Iran to exit swiftly, coordinating with the Embassy and utilizing the specified routes. It is crucial to avoid approaching any international land border without prior consultation and coordination with the Embassy, as highlighted in the advisory.
Just after the US and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement, India issued this advisory to its nationals in Iran. US President Donald Trump, shortly before the 8 p.m. EST deadline he set for Iran to reach a deal, announced a conditional two-week pause in planned attacks linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s decision brought relief globally, stepping back from a potential military escalation with Iran.
In a social media post, Trump mentioned a “double-sided ceasefire” resulting from talks with Pakistan. He expressed confidence in achieving a definitive agreement for long-term peace with Iran and in the Middle East. The ceasefire’s continuation is contingent on Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, as outlined by Trump.
