India issues travel advisory for its citizens as Iran attacks Israel

The Centre on Wednesday issued a travel advisory to all Indian citizens in the wake of the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, urging them to avoid all non-essential travel to Iran. It also advised the Indian nationals living in Iran to “remain vigilant” and stay in contact with the Indian Embassy in Tehran. The advisory comes a day after Iran fired around 200 missiles into Israel, invoking fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East. External affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday, reacting to the escalating crisis in the Middle East, said that India is “very much concerned” at the possibility of a regional war.
