Tehran/Islamabad – June 13, 2025 – Amid growing regional unrest, the Pakistani Embassy in Tehran has issued a safety advisory urging all Pakistani nationals residing in Iran to remain in secure locations and avoid unnecessary movement, sources confirmed to media outlets on Thursday.
The advisory comes as tensions escalate along Iran’s borders, with increased military activity and diplomatic strain fueling public anxiety. Officials at the embassy emphasized that the directive is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of Pakistani citizens in the country.
Avoid Non-Essential Travel, Says Embassy
According to diplomatic sources, the embassy has advised against all non-essential travel within Iran and requested citizens to register their presence with the consular section for emergency updates and assistance.

Background: Tensions in the Region
While no specific incident involving Pakistani nationals has been reported, the broader regional instability — involving Iran’s strained relations with neighboring countries and reports of cross-border skirmishes — has prompted several diplomatic missions to update their safety protocols.

What Citizens Should Do
Pakistani citizens currently in Iran are advised to:
- Stay updated via the official embassy website and social media.
- Register with the consulate, especially if traveling or relocating within the country.
- Avoid large gatherings, demonstrations, or politically sensitive areas.
