Iran launched over 200 projectiles at Israel on Saturday in retaliation for an attack on its consulate in Syria.
In the midst of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, earlier this week, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a travel advisory on Friday, urging Indian citizens to avoid traveling to both countries until further notice.
The ministry also instructed individuals currently in Iran or Israel to reach out to Indian embassies and register themselves.
