(m.economictimes.com) Emergency helplines and an online registration form have been circulated to assist departures.
The alert follows heightened Tehran-Washington tensions and fresh anti-government protests across several Iranian cities. Although commercial air services are still running, travel insurers report premium surcharges of up to 40 per cent on routes transiting Iranian airspace.

Indian medical students form the largest single foreign cohort in Iran; many face exam schedules in early March and have appealed for remote assessment options. Universities, however, have yet to announce concessions, leaving students torn between safety directives and academic obligations.

Consular officials stress that those who cannot leave immediately should avoid protest areas, keep documents handy and remain in close contact with the embassy. Further advisories will be issued as the situation unfolds.
