India Urged to Break Silence on US-Iran Conflict

In light of the US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, the opposition Congress has criticized the Modi government's silence. Congress stresses the need for immediate diplomacy with Iran and condemns US and Israeli actions. Concerns rise over potential regional conflict as calls for dialogue persist.

The United States' recent airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear sites have sparked a heated political debate within India. The Indian National Congress party openly criticized President Donald Trump's decision, stating it contradicts his purported desire for continued dialogue with Iran.

Congress leaders have accused India's ruling party of moral cowardice, pointing out the silence of Modi's government in the face of these aggressive actions. Prominent Congress figure Jairam Ramesh emphasized the importance of immediate diplomacy to mitigate escalating tensions.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed concern to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian but remains under fire for not openly condemning the US and Israel's military strategies. The situation has heightened fears of a larger regional conflict, urging many nations to call for restraint and renewed talks.
