India on Apr 8 issued a fresh advisory urging its nationals in Iran to expeditiously exit the country despite a declared US–Iran ceasefire. The Indian Embassy warned against approaching land borders without coordination and shared emergency contact numbers amid ongoing safety concerns.
India on Wednesday (Apr 8) issued a fresh advisory for its nationals in Iran and "strongly advised" them to "expeditiously exit" the country despite a ceasefire announced by both Washington and Tehran. India's statement comes a day after it advised its nationals still living in the Islamic Republic to stay where they are for the next 48 hours and remain indoors as US President Donald Trump's deadline loomed. While India has yet not reacted to Pakistan's mediated ceasefire between the US and Iran, Centre's advise to Indian nationals indicate that threat and safety concerns might still be the same as it was before the truce. Indian Embassy again reiterated that there should be no attempt to approach any international land border without prior consultation and coordination with the Embassy.

Iran-US ceasefire
US President Donald Trump announced that he has agreed to pause bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. He said that he will abide by the same only if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz immediately. Soon after, Iran, in its statement, said that it has agreed to the request by the US for negotiations based on its 15-point proposal. It also said that the US has accepted the general framework of Iran's 10-point proposal. Iran also said that for a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible. Both the world leaders thanked Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, establishing the country as the chief mediator. Both Iran and the US declared victory as soon as the ceasefire was confirmed.
