India has issued a fresh advisory urging its nationals in Iran to leave the country “expeditiously,” even as a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran offers a temporary pause in hostilities.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the Indian Embassy in Tehran advised all Indian citizens still in Iran to coordinate closely with officials and exit using only designated routes. “Indian nationals still in Iran are strongly advised to expeditiously exit Iran, in coordination with the Embassy and using the routes suggested,” the advisory said.

The embassy also warned against independent travel to border crossings without prior approval. “There should be no attempt to approach any international land border without prior consultation and coordination with the Embassy,” it added, emphasizing safety concerns despite the ceasefire.

The advisory comes just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a conditional two-week suspension of military operations against Iran, following weeks of escalating conflict. The ceasefire, mediated through diplomatic efforts involving Pakistan, is tied to Iran’s agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping route.

Trump described the development as a “double-sided ceasefire,” stating that both sides had made progress toward a broader peace agreement. He also noted that Iran had submitted a 10-point proposal, which Washington considers a workable basis for negotiations during the pause.

Iran has signaled tentative acceptance of the arrangement. Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Tehran would halt its military operations if attacks against Iran cease. He also indicated that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz could be facilitated for the two-week period, subject to coordination with Iranian authorities.

Despite these developments, India’s latest advisory reflects continued uncertainty on the ground. Reports of sporadic military activity, coupled with the fragile and conditional nature of the ceasefire, have raised concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in the region.

The conflict, which has lasted several weeks, has significantly impacted regional stability and global energy markets, particularly due to disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

India has been closely monitoring the situation and has issued multiple advisories in recent days, urging caution and preparedness among its citizens in Iran. The government’s latest directive underscores the risks that persist despite diplomatic progress.

As ceasefire talks continue and negotiations unfold, the situation remains fluid, with authorities prioritizing the safe evacuation of nationals amid lingering tensions.
