The Indian Embassy in Iran is ending its evacuation after the Iran-Israel ceasefire. The contact desk is closed, and Indians are advised to stay put.

The Indian Embassy in Iran on Tuesday made some important announcements regarding its evacuation exercise in the country after an attack by Israel last week.

In a post on X, the Indian mission in Tehran said that the Embassy is gradually winding up the evacuation exercise in the wake of the Iran-Israel ceasefire. The contact desk, which was opened to register new names for evacuation, has now been closed.

Indians who are in other parts of Iran, but were planning to travel to Mashhad for evacuation, are advised to remain where they are, and continue to monitor the news, as well as any updated advice issued by the embassy, it wrote in a post on X.

However, the Government of India is keeping a careful eye on the evolving situation and will reassess its strategy in case there is again a threat to the security of Indian nationals in Iran.

The embassy also said that if any Indian citizens need any advice or assistance, or have any other special needs, they may contact the Embassy through the telegram channel or on the helplines provided earlier. These communication channels will be open for the next few days, it said.

Operation Sindhu

Last week, the Government of India launched “Operation Sindhu" to evacuate Indian nationals from Iran and Israel as the conflict with Israel escalated.

Operation Sindhu, which began on June 18, has so far facilitated the return of 2,295 Indians from Iran.
