The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has drawn the United States into the fray. Last night, U.S. B-2 bombers conducted significant airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites. In response, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a telephonic conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezheshkian. PM Modi shared this update via X, stating, 'I spoke with Iranian President Pezheshkian about the ongoing situation. We discussed it in detail. I expressed my deep concern about the military conflict and reiterated the call for dialogue and diplomacy to reduce tensions promptly. I emphasized the need for the swift restoration of regional peace, security, and stability.'
Iranian Foreign Minister Saeed Abbas Araghchi condemned the U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, calling them a grave violation of international law, the UN Charter, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Araghchi posted a strong-worded statement on X, accusing the U.S., a permanent member of the UN Security Council, of 'criminal behavior' by targeting peaceful nuclear facilities. He stated, 'This morning's events are provocative and will have long-term consequences.'
