The advisory added, “All those who are currently residing in Iran or Israel are requested to get in touch with Indian Embassies there and register themselves.”

It further said, “They are also requested to observe utmost precautions about their safety and restrict their movements to the minimum.”

This comes as tensions between rival powers, Israel and Iran continue to flare following the killings of Iranian generals in a blast at the Iranian consulate in Syria.

On Wednesday, Israel’s foreign minister had threatened that the country’s forces would strike Iran directly if the Islamic Republic launched an attack from its territory against Israel.
