📰 Emergency Helpline Numbers Issued for Indians in Israel Amid Iran Missile Strikes
Rising Iran-Israel Tensions Trigger Safety Alerts for Indian Nationals
The geopolitical conflict between Iran and Israel escalated sharply in June 2025 as both nations engaged in direct missile exchanges. This hostile exchange of fire has alarmed the international community and triggered emergency measures for foreign nationals residing in the region — including approximately 18,000 Indian citizens living in Israel.
As the threat landscape worsens, the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv and Indian Embassy in Tehran have activated 24×7 emergency helplines for the Indian diaspora. These steps aim to ensure immediate assistance, updates, and potential evacuation support if required.
Indian Embassy in Israel Issues Emergency Helplines
Amid the barrage of incoming missiles from Iran, the Embassy of India in Tel Aviv has urged all Indian nationals in Israel to remain indoors, follow local safety advisories, and register themselves on the embassy’s official database.
Tel Aviv Emergency Contact Details
- 📞 +972‑547520711
- 📞 +972‑543278392
- 📧 Email: cons1.telaviv@mea.gov.in
Indians are advised to stay near bomb shelters, avoid public gatherings, and follow alerts from the Home Front Command of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
“We are closely monitoring the situation. Indian citizens are requested to stay calm and contact the helpline in case of any emergency,” stated a spokesperson for the Indian Embassy.
Iranian Counter-Attacks and Safety for Indians in Iran
While Israel launched preemptive airstrikes on suspected Iranian military sites, Iran has also retaliated with ballistic missile launches. This puts not only Israeli cities at risk but also increases the vulnerability of foreign nationals in Iran.
Embassy of India in Tehran – Emergency Helpline Numbers
The Indian Embassy in Tehran has activated multiple contact lines to support any Indian nationals affected by the situation:
- 📞 +98‑912‑810‑9115
- 📞 +98‑912‑810‑9109
- 📞 +98‑993‑179‑567
- 📞 +98‑993‑217‑9359
- 📞 +98‑21‑88755103–5
- 📧 Email: cons.tehran@mea.gov.in
Indian nationals are being asked to avoid traveling outside, stock up on essential supplies, and maintain contact with the embassy.
Indian Government Response and Evacuation Readiness
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi has established a 24-hour control room to track developments in the region and coordinate with its embassies. Officials have confirmed that contingency plans are in place should the need for mass evacuation arise.
In a press briefing, India’s External Affairs Minister stated:
“The safety of Indian nationals is our highest priority. We are in constant contact with our missions and the host governments. We urge all citizens to remain calm and follow official communication only.”
Key Safety Guidelines for Indians Abroad in Conflict Zones
Whether residing in Israel, Iran, or neighboring countries affected by the tension, Indian nationals are advised to:
- ✅ Register with the Indian embassy immediately.
- ✅ Stay updated via official embassy social media.
- ✅ Identify the nearest bomb shelters (in Israel).
- ✅ Keep emergency kits (food, water, medicines) ready.
- ✅ Maintain low digital and public profiles during ongoing hostilities.
- ✅ Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary.
Global Reactions and India’s Neutral Stance
India has historically maintained neutral diplomatic relations with both Iran and Israel. However, as a growing power with significant diaspora presence abroad, it finds itself increasingly tasked with balancing its foreign policy and ensuring citizen safety.
New Delhi has called for “maximum restraint” and offered to support any multilateral de-escalation dialogue.
This comes at a time when over 35 nations have issued travel advisories, with many halting commercial flights to and from Tel Aviv and Tehran.
