“In view of reports of commencement of some flights between India and Iran, and in continuation of earlier advisories, Indian citizens are strongly advised not to travel to Iran, whether by air or land,” the Embassy said.
The advisory comes even as limited flight operations are reported to have resumed between the two countries. However, authorities cautioned that airspace restrictions remain in place, impacting international connectivity.
“Airspace restrictions and operational uncertainties due to regional tensions continue to affect international flight operations to and from Iran,” it added.
