In response to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the Indian government has issued a security advisory for all Indian nationals and persons of Indian origin currently in Iran.
The advisory comes after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed launching a “preemptive, precise, combined offensive” targeting multiple Iranian military and nuclear-related facilities. “All Indian citizens in Iran are requested to remain vigilant, avoid all unnecessary movements, follow the Embassy’s social media accounts, and adhere to safety protocols advised by local authorities,” the Indian Embassy in Tehran announced.

According to Israeli military officials, dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out coordinated strikes across Iran late Thursday night. Targets reportedly included sites linked to Iran’s nuclear development program and key military installations.
A bold statement released by the IDF said: “The State of Israel has no choice but to fulfill the obligation to act in defense of its citizens and will continue to do so everywhere it is required.”
Israeli officials justified the operation by citing fresh intelligence that Iran was on the verge of a major nuclear breakthrough, posing an imminent threat to regional and global security.
The airstrikes have drawn sharp international reactions, with several nations urging restraint to avoid a broader regional conflict. The United States has officially denied any involvement in the operation, emphasizing that the Israeli action was unilateral.
