The Embassy of India in Tehran has issued an urgent advisory dated April 7, 2026, instructing all Indian nationals still in Iran to stay where they are for the next 48 hours. The advisory, issued as heavy strikes hit multiple Iranian cities on the night of Trump’s final deadline, is the most operationally specific safety directive the Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued since the conflict began on February 28.
If you are an Indian national in Iran, read this advisory in full and follow every instruction immediately.
The Full Advisory — What Indians in Iran Must Do Right Now
The Embassy of India Tehran has directed all Indian nationals in Iran to follow these instructions for the next 48 hours beginning April 7, 2026.
Stay where you are. Do not attempt to move to another location, the airport, or any other destination without coordinating with the Embassy first.
Avoid all electric installations and military installations. Power infrastructure and military sites are active strike targets tonight across multiple Iranian cities. Stay away from them entirely.
Avoid upper floors of multi-storey buildings. Blast waves, shrapnel, and structural damage from nearby strikes are more severe on upper floors. Move to lower floors or ground level and stay there.
Remain indoors. Do not go outside for any reason unless directed by the Embassy.
Coordinate any highway movement strictly with the Embassy. Do not attempt to drive on Iranian highways without explicit Embassy clearance. IDF strikes on 8 Iranian bridge sections tonight mean road routes may be compromised, dangerous, or blocked. The Embassy needs to know your intended movement to advise on safety.
Those staying in Embassy-hired hotels must stay indoors and maintain regular contact with the on-site Embassy teams stationed at those hotels.
Monitor official Embassy updates closely through all available channels.

Why This Advisory Is More Serious Than Previous Ones
The specific instructions in tonight’s advisory reflect the operational reality of what is happening across Iran tonight. The instruction to avoid electric installations is a direct response to Trump’s threat and reported strikes targeting Iranian power infrastructure. The instruction to avoid upper floors reflects the blast and shrapnel pattern from the kind of widespread urban strikes being reported across Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, Khorramabad, and Shiraz. The instruction to coordinate highway movement with the Embassy reflects the IDF’s destruction of 8 Iranian bridge sections tonight which has made road movement across Iran genuinely dangerous and unpredictable.
The 48-hour window specified in the advisory, extending through April 9, 2026, covers the period immediately following Trump’s 8 PM ET deadline expiry and the most intense anticipated phase of military operations that the Embassy’s security assessment suggests will follow.
