India's Response to Escalating Israel-Iran Conflict
India has voiced its deep concern over the recent surge in tensions between Israel and Iran, urging both nations to refrain from actions that could escalate the conflict further. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) emphasized the importance of dialogue and diplomatic channels to ease the situation in the volatile West Asian region.
Pre-emptive Strikes and Rising Tensions
India’s statement came shortly after reports of Israeli pre-emptive strikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, including Tehran. These attacks reportedly resulted in the deaths of several top Iranian nuclear scientists and key personnel from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), intensifying volatility across the region.
India’s Call for Calm and Safety Advisory
India urged both Israel and Iran to avoid any further escalatory steps and to lean on dialogue for peaceful resolution. “We stand ready to provide all possible support,” the MEA affirmed, highlighting India's balanced and friendly ties with both countries.
Additionally, the Indian government is maintaining close contact with its missions in both Israel and Iran. Indian nationals residing in the region have been advised to exercise caution, closely follow security instructions, and prioritize their safety amid the unfolding situation.
Looking Ahead
As the situation remains fluid, India continues to monitor developments closely. The emphasis remains on de-escalation through diplomatic means to resolve fundamental issues without further conflict.
