US-Iran ceasefire: Despite a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran, the Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued a fresh advisory on Wednesday, asking Indian citizens to leave Iran at the earliest due to the uncertain security situation.

In its latest notice dated April 8, the embassy advised all Indians still in Iran to plan their departure quickly and stay in close contact with officials. It also asked citizens to follow only those exit routes that are being recommended by the embassy.

The advisory clearly warned against approaching any international land border without prior approval and coordination with embassy authorities, stressing that safety protocols must be strictly followed.

This comes a day after an earlier advisory on April 7, when Indian nationals were told to remain indoors for 48 hours and avoid sensitive areas. The embassy had cautioned people to stay away from military zones, electrical infrastructure and upper floors of high-rise buildings, while restricting any highway travel without official coordination.

Ceasefire deal between US and Iran

Meanwhile, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, just before a deadline set by US President Donald Trump for possible military action expired.

As part of the arrangement, Iran has agreed to temporarily reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route.

The White House has stated that Israel has also agreed to support the ceasefire, although reports suggest that hostilities may not have completely stopped.

Pakistan to host peace talks

Diplomatic efforts are now underway to prevent further escalation. Iran has confirmed that talks with the United States will begin on Friday in Islamabad.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who played a mediating role in the ceasefire, said Pakistan will host delegations from both countries to work towards a long-term solution.
