"Indian nationals already in Iran, and interested in leaving, may avail the commercial flight and ferry options which are available right now," it said. The advisory follows a sharp rise in regional tensions after Israel launched air attacks on Iran, hitting military and nuclear sites as well as numerous civilian areas. The attacks were then followed by US air raids using bunker-buster bombs at key Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at Israel, triggering a 12-day conflict. The Iranian Armed Forces launched retaliatory strikes, targeting key positions across the Israeli-occupied territories and on the US military airbase in Qatar. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed into law a bill suspending cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The state broadcaster of Iran reported that Pezeshkian ratified the bill after Parliament approved the legislation. Iran's president has warned the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to abandon its 'double standards' if it intends to restore cooperation over the country's nuclear programme as the UN nuclear watchdog's refused to condemn the strikes undertaken by United States on nuclear sites.
