The Indian Embassy in Iran has urged its citizens to leave Iran immediately in light of the current security situation. Following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran, the Indian government has instructed its nationals to coordinate their safe return. Iran has presented a 10-point proposal demanding control over the Strait of Hormuz without US interference and the lifting of sanctions related to its nuclear program. Kathmandu, 24 Chaitra.
The Indian Embassy has strongly advised its citizens in Iran not to attempt to cross international borders without prior consultation and coordination. It has made emergency contact numbers public to facilitate the safe and smooth evacuation of nationals. This advisory was issued after President Trump declared a two-week ceasefire based on Iran’s 10-point proposal, prompting India to take measures to ensure the secure repatriation of its citizens.
Trump has announced a temporary halt to bombing and assault operations against Iran. Iran’s 10-point proposal emphasizes its continuous control over the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most crucial oil export routes—free from US intervention. The proposal’s most critical aspect concerns Iran’s nuclear program, which has long been a focal point of conflict between the two nations and the international community.
Tehran demands the removal of all sanctions imposed on its nuclear program and immediate economic relief. Years of US sanctions have severely impacted Iran’s economy. Iran also insists that the US must pay financial reparations for damages caused during the conflict. Additionally, Iran demands the full withdrawal of US combat troops from the region and the end of ongoing wars in the Middle East, including Lebanon. Due to this sensitive geopolitical situation and the uncertainty following the ceasefire, India has directed its citizens to leave Iran to protect them from potential risks.
