India is deeply concerned about the latest developments in Iran and the Persian Gulf region, according to a statement by the Ministry of External Affairs of India.

“We strongly urge all parties to exercise restraint, avoid escalation, and prioritize the safety of civilians. Dialogue and diplomacy must continue to reduce tensions and address the underlying issues. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected.

Our missions in the region are in contact with Indian nationals and have issued appropriate advisories urging them to remain vigilant, stay in touch with the missions, and follow the guidance of local security authorities,” the ministry said.
