Amid ongoing civil unrest in Iran, the Indian government on Wednesday issued an advisory for its nationals regarding travel to the Gulf nation. Last week, Iran's Ambassador Mohammad Fathali stated that the situation in Iran is under control, and there is no threat to Indian citizens or interests in the Islamic Republic. Emphasising that public order is being maintained, the envoy said diplomatic, economic and consular activities are functioning normally. The envoy also said the Islamic Republic of Iran recognises peaceful protest and the expression of public demands as legal rights within its democratic system. Iran on Wednesday pledged accelerated legal proceedings for individuals detained during a sweeping surge of demonstrations, following US President Donald Trump’s warning of "very strong action" should the Islamic Republic proceed with executions, as reported by news agency AFP.
