The Indian Embassy in Tehran has cautioned Indian nationals in Iran against attempting to cross land borders for travel without prior coordination. The Embassy emphasized that it cannot provide assistance once individuals leave Iran and face entry issues into other countries. This advisory stresses the importance of seeking guidance from the Embassy before approaching any land border points.
The Embassy highlighted that Indian nationals can reach out for help through emergency contact helplines or email. This guidance comes amidst the ongoing tensions in West Asia triggered by US-Israel strikes on Iran, leading to retaliatory actions by Iran targeting US assets and allied forces in the region. The conflict has drawn criticism from various nations in the Middle East, labeling Iran’s actions as a threat to regional security.
Saudi Arabia has condemned the Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members, denouncing them as escalatory and endangering bilateral relations. The Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed concerns over the targeting of civilian objects, airports, and oil facilities, emphasizing Iran’s violations of international charters and laws. Saudi Arabia reiterated its commitment to protecting its security and sovereignty against Iranian aggression.
