"In view of the developing situation, all Indian nationals in Iran are advised to exercise utmost caution, avoid unnecessary movements, and remain indoors as far as possible," the embassy said in a post on X.
It further stated that all Indian nationals may also consider monitoring news, maintaining social awareness, and awaiting further guidance from the Indian Embassy.

US President Donald Trump called on the Iranian people to take over the government on Saturday. He also said that the US had begun "major combat operations in Iran" after Israel launched strikes.
