Indian Embassy in Iran Urges Citizens to Depart Amid Regional Tensions

Kathmandu. The Indian Embassy in Iran has urged Indian citizens to depart from Iran immediately in coordination with the embassy. Advising against attempting to reach international borders without prior consultation and coordination with the embassy, emergency contact numbers have also been made public.

This call comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire and the suspension of bombing and attack campaigns against Iran, in accordance with Iran's 10-point proposal.

In a statement, Iran expressed its expectation to remain committed to key principles, including the continuation of its control over the Strait of Hormuz—a vital global oil export point—provided there is no aggression from the United States.

The most critical point remains Iran's nuclear program, which has long been the center of dispute between the two nations and the international community. Tehran has called for economic relief, including the lifting of all sanctions on this program, which have severely impacted Iran's economy for years.

Similarly, Tehran has emphasized the need for financial compensation, calling for payments to cover damages incurred during the conflict. It is reported that Iran has also demanded the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from its region and an end to wars in areas including Lebanon.
