Azar emphasizes Israel's preventive actions against Iran's potential nuclear capabilities, while expressing hopes for a brighter future for the Iranian people amidst ongoing regional tensions.

In the midst of escalating tensions in West Asia, Israel has been aligning with various nations, including India, to address the region's volatility following recent military strikes on Iran. Israel's Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, confirmed ongoing communications with Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar regarding these developments.
