Indian Embassy in Iran has issued an urgent 48-hour safety advisory for citizens in Iran, advising them to avoid all electric, military installations and upper floors of multi-storey buildings.
The advisory comes after US President Donald Trump issued fresh warning to Iran, stating that “a whole civilisation will die tonight” if Iran does not make a deal. He however had said that Iran still has time to capitulate ahead of a deadline set for 8 pm in Washington.
