India Expresses Concern Over Escalating Iran-Israel Tensions
India has expressed serious concern over the recent escalation of hostilities between Iran and Israel, emphasizing the potential threat posed to peace and security in the region. Following Iran's drone and missile attacks on Israel, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a press release urging for immediate de-escalation and a return to diplomatic negotiations.
In the press release, the MEA underscored the importance of all parties exercising restraint and refraining from violence. India called for a resumption of dialogue to defuse the escalating tensions. The MEA emphasized the need to closely monitor the situation and maintain security and stability in the region.
As tensions rise, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a meeting of his war cabinet in Tel Aviv to address the situation. Iran's response to the embassy strike, which resulted in the deaths of three top military generals, has further heightened tensions.
In response to the escalating conflict, US President Joe Biden held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu after meetings with the Security Cabinet and the War Cabinet. The international community is closely watching the situation unfold and is hopeful for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
India, along with other nations, remains committed to promoting peace and stability in the region and calls upon all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy in resolving their differences. The safety and security of the region are of utmost importance, and concerted efforts must be made to prevent further escalation of hostilities.
