Safety First: Indian Embassies Act as Tensions Rise in Iran and Israel

As conflict intensifies, the Indian government is prioritizing the safety of its citizens in Iran and Israel. The Indian Embassy in Iran has issued a safety advisory, urging Indian nationals to stay alert, avoid non-essential travel, and comply with safety protocols issued by local authorities and the Embassy’s social media channels. This action follows Israel’s launch of ‘Operation Rising Lion,’ a military operation against Iran’s nuclear program, as confirmed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who stated the operation’s goal. Simultaneously, the Indian Embassy in Israel has issued its own advisory, advising Indian citizens to remain vigilant, adhere to safety measures provided by Israeli authorities and the Home Front Command, and to limit travel. Furthermore, Delhi Airport is monitoring the situation, noting potential impacts on flight schedules due to evolving airspace conditions in the region, and advising passengers to contact their airlines for the latest flight updates.
