A rapidly deteriorating security landscape in the Middle East has led India’s Ministry of External Affairs to issue critical advisories for its citizens in Israel, Qatar, UAE, Palestine, and beyond. Iran’s launch of Operation Epic Fury—missile barrages on US bases in Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE—marks a direct counter to Israel and US strikes on Tehran, according to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps statements via Fars.
Embassies are mobilizing with precise instructions: remain sheltered, track official updates, maintain embassy contact, and follow all safety protocols from local forces.
Dedicated lines are active 24/7. Qatar: 00974-55647502, [email protected]. Palestine: +970592916418, [email protected], [email protected]. Tel Aviv: +972-54-7520711, [email protected]—already under advisory, with embassy liaising closely.
UAE offers 800-46342 toll-free, +971543090571 WhatsApp, [email protected], [email protected]. Tehran advisories preceded this, focusing on caution.
Triggered by Saturday’s ‘defensive’ Israel-US missile interception over Tehran, the crisis amplifies risks from stalled US-Iran nuclear diplomacy. Media warns of impending large-scale hostilities, casting a shadow over the Gulf.
India’s envoys underscore proactive vigilance, ensuring every citizen has access to help amid whispers of wider war. Stay safe, stay informed—these are the watchwords as diplomats navigate the storm.
