The Embassy also assured continued assistance to Indian citizens during the evolving situation. "In case of any emergency, Indian nationals may contact the Embassy of India, Tel Aviv, through the 24x7 helpline... The Embassy remains closely engaged with the relevant authorities and will continue to issue updates as necessary," it added.

The advisory comes after Tehran was shaken by a series of powerful explosions on Saturday, following what Israel described as "preventive" missile strikes against Iran.

The development marks a sharp escalation in tensions in the region, according to local media reports. The strikes took place against the backdrop of mounting friction between the United States and Iran over a possible nuclear agreement, fuelling concerns about a broader military confrontation in the Middle East.

Reports indicated that several missiles struck locations along University Street and in the Jomhouri district of the Iranian capital. Dense plumes of smoke were seen rising from areas near Pasteur Street in central Tehran, which houses several key government buildings.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the scale of the damage or whether there have been any casualties. In response to the rapidly evolving situation, both Israel and Iran have closed their airspace as a precautionary measure. Further details are awaited as the situation continues to unfold.
