Indian Embassy in Iran to Wind Down Evacuation Efforts Following Ceasefire Announcement
The Indian Embassy in Iran has announced the closure of its contact desk, which was set up to register new names for evacuation.;

The Embassy of India in Tehran announced on Tuesday that the evacuation of Indian nationals from Iran is gradually winding down, following the declaration of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
So far, India has safely evacuated over 3,170 citizens under Operation Sindhu, with more than 1,100 people brought back just on Tuesday. With tensions easing, the embassy has now closed its contact desk, which was set up to register new names for evacuation. However, it emphasized that the Indian government remains watchful and will reassess the situation if any fresh threats to the safety of Indian nationals arise.
For those still in Iran, the embassy advised citizens not to travel to Mashhad for evacuation. Instead, they should stay where they are, keep an eye on the news, and follow any future guidance from the embassy.
As for those already in Mashhad and staying at embassy-arranged hotels, the embassy requested they move to Sadr Hotel by today, as the rooms in the other hotels will be released. The embassy said it will retain rooms at Sadr Hotel for two more nights — until checkout time on June 26 — giving people a bit more time to confirm that things are returning to normal.
Indian citizens still needing help or advice can contact the embassy through its Telegram channel or the helpline numbers shared earlier. These communication lines will remain active for the next few days.
The ceasefire between Iran and Israel came after nearly two weeks of missile strikes exchanged by both sides. Former U.S. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce the ceasefire and later criticized both nations — particularly Israel — after reports emerged of a potential violation of the truce. In a characteristically blunt, all-caps post, he urged Israel to hold back from further attacks.
