PM Modi Pushes For Dialogue & Diplomacy; India Balances Iran Crisis
As the Middle East crisis intensifies following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, India has issued a carefully calibrated response. New Delhi conveyed condolences through diplomatic channels while avoiding political commentary on the circumstances of his death. PM Modi also spoke with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, stressing restraint and the need to end hostilities. India has simultaneously engaged leaders across the UAE, Qatar, and Jordan, condemning attacks on Gulf states and urging de-escalation. With millions of Indians living in the region and India's energy security at stake, New Delhi continues to push for dialogue and diplomacy as the only sustainable path forward.
