Middle East War: 'Stay where you are for the next 48 hours!' Advisory issued for Indians in Iran
Washington/Tehran, April 7, 2026: The ongoing war in the Middle East has reached a dangerous turning point, sparking fears of a nuclear strike or total destruction. U.S. President Donald Trump shared a chilling post on social media, stating that an entire civilization could be wiped out tonight.
Embassy Guidelines for Indian Citizens
In light of the current situation, the Indian Embassy in Iran has issued strict instructions for Indian nationals residing there:
-
Stay Indoors: Indians have been advised to remain inside their homes.
-
Areas to Avoid: Citizens are urged to stay away from power plants, military bases, and the upper floors of multi-story buildings.
-
Continuous Contact: Those staying in hotels booked by the Embassy have been asked to maintain constant contact with the Embassy teams on the ground.
Trump's Threat on 'Truth Social'
Just hours before the deadline for reopening the Hormuz Strait and reaching an agreement expires, Trump wrote:
"Tonight, an entire civilization will be destroyed, never to be brought back again. I don't want this to happen, but perhaps it will."
He further added that 47 years of coercion, corruption, and a cycle of death would finally end tonight. Speaking at the White House, Trump also remarked that Iran could be finished in a single night, and that night could be Tuesday (today).
Global Context
U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran continue unabated, with Iran providing a retaliatory response. While countries across the globe are attempting to de-escalate the conflict, Trump’s statements have created an atmosphere of panic worldwide.
