Iran, on Saturday, attacked Israel with more than 200 projectiles, in response to an attack on its consulate in Syria.
Amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, earlier this week, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a travel advisory to Indian citizens on Friday and asked them to refrain from travelling to both countries until further notice.
The ministry further asked people who are currently in Iran or Israel to contact Indian embassies and register themselves.
