Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, expressing “deep concern” over the escalating tensions following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Emphasising the need for immediate de-escalation, Modi called for dialogue and diplomacy to restore regional peace and stability. His remarks came hours after US President Donald Trump announced strikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan sites. India’s statement remained neutral, avoiding direct reference to the attacks while underscoring its support for peace in the region.

Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the Indian Embassy in Tehran has urged all Indian nationals and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) using personal vehicles to leave the city and relocate to safer areas. The advisory, issued on June 17, follows reports of a potential broadening of the conflict and comes as the Indian government facilitates evacuations through the Armenia border. Emergency helpline numbers have been shared for those seeking assistance.
