Caution Urged Amid Escalating Tehran Conflict
Islamabad: Pakistan has issued a travel advisory for its citizens planning to visit Iran after Israel launched air strikes on Tehran, intensifying regional tensions, reported 24NewsHD. In an official statement released Saturday in Islamabad, the Pakistani Foreign Office urged nationals to avoid all non-essential travel to the Islamic Republic of Iran to ensure their safety and security.
The advisory reflects growing concern over the volatile security situation in Iran’s capital, where explosions and heightened military activity have been reported. Officials emphasized that the advisory applies both to prospective travelers and to Pakistani citizens currently residing in Iran, signaling the seriousness of potential risks in the region.
Residents Advised to Exercise Vigilance
Pakistani nationals already in Iran were instructed to remain vigilant, limit non-essential movement, and maintain regular communication with Pakistani diplomatic missions. The statement highlighted that citizens should keep in contact with consular services using the official channels provided, ensuring rapid assistance if circumstances deteriorate further.
Authorities stressed that staying informed about local developments and following safety protocols is critical during this period of heightened tension. Analysts note that such advisories are common when regional conflicts escalate rapidly and can help reduce civilian exposure to potential attacks or unrest.
Furthermore, the advisory underlines the importance of preparedness and awareness for citizens abroad, particularly as the situation in Tehran remains unpredictable. The Pakistani government continues to monitor developments closely and is expected to issue updates as new information becomes available.
Travelers are urged to follow guidance from local authorities and exercise caution when planning movements in and around affected areas, prioritizing personal safety above all.
