Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Israeli army opened a new front in the conflict against Hezbollah terrorists in its northern neighbor Lebanon.
After Iran attacking Israel with 200 missiles, there is not only huge tension in West Asia but also the fear of a large-scale war is looming. Meanwhile, Iran’s Ambassador to India Iraj Elahi has sought India’s intervention in restoring stability and peace in the region. The Iranian ambassador said, “India should take advantage of this opportunity to persuade Israel to stop its aggression and maintain peace and stability in the region.” The Iranian ambassador said that only India can reduce the tension between his country and Israel.
Let us tell you that India has warm and friendly relations with both the countries. This is why Iranian diplomats are urging the Indian government to reduce tensions with all parties involved in the West Asia crisis and resolve the issues through diplomacy and dialogue. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Israeli army opened a new front in the conflict against Hezbollah terrorists in its northern neighbor Lebanon. Prime Minister Modi had then bluntly said that there should be no place for terrorism in the world.
In an interview given to NDTV, the Iranian Ambassador also said that only if Israel stops, we will also stop. He further said, “Iran does not want war. We want peace in the region, but if our national security is compromised, we have no choice but to retaliate, and that is exactly what we have done.”
The Iranian ambassador said that the ballistic missile attacks on Israel on Tuesday (October 01) were a strategic part of the retaliation action. He said, “This was a retaliatory strike in response to the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil. He was our state guest and he was assassinated by Israel in our country. This is a national security issue and a violation of our Constitution.” “Accordingly, we have to deal with such issue with counter-reaction.”
The Iranian ambassador clarified that the missile strike was not aimed at killing Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. He said, “The issue is being confused here. Our retaliation against Israel was only for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, not for Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah can take care of itself.” Let us tell you that in the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had also requested PM Modi to persuade Russia and establish a ceasefire. After this, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval went on a visit to Kiev.
