The Indian Embassy in Iran has issued a fresh advisory to Indian nationals in the country to leave the country by available means of transport, including commercial flights.
The notice has come amid a rising fear of a military escalation between Iran and the US.
The advisory read as a continuation of the announcement on January 5, when the Government asked Indian nationals to leave during the Khamenei regime's crackdown on the protests that took over the country.
“All Indian citizens and PIOs should exercise due caution, avoid areas of protests or demonstrations, stay in contact with the Indian Embassy in Iran and monitor local media for any developments,” the advisory read.
The advisory also asked Indian nationals to avoid travelling to areas of protests and exercise caution. The notice also requested that they keep immigration documents, including passports and IDs on the ready. They requested that Indian citizens contact the Embassy for assistance in the regard.
According to sources who spoke to Axiom on Friday, the US president was presented with different options on Iran. One plan included targeting the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba.
The next round of talks between the two countries will be held on Thursday in Geneva, Oman’s foreign minister Badr al-Busaidi said on Sunday. He expressed hope that an agreement could be reached before the US considers an attack. The previous talk on Iran’s nuclear program was held in Oman.
In a post on social media, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the the previous talks “yielded encouraging signals.”
