Pakistan has urged its citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Iran because of security concerns linked to continuing unrest, the foreign ministry said on Saturday.
In a travel advisory, the Foreign Office said Pakistanis should refrain from travelling to Iran until conditions improve.
Citizens currently in the country were advised to exercise caution, remain vigilant, minimise non-essential movement and stay in regular contact with Pakistani diplomatic missions.
The Pakistani embassy in Tehran has established a crisis management unit to assist nationals. Pakistan’s ambassador to Iran, Mudassir Tipu, said five emergency contact numbers had been issued and would remain operational around the clock.
The embassy has also shared the details on its official social media platforms.
The advisory comes as protests in Iran, which began in late December, continue in several cities. The demonstrations have been driven by public anger over rising living costs, with authorities reportedly imposing internet restrictions in some areas.
