New Delhi: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, was killed in a joint US-Israeli airstrike. Following this, there has been widespread anger against the US and Israel among the Muslim community across the country.

Meanwhile, India has expressed grief over the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri met with the Iranian Ambassador in Delhi today and signed a condolence register for Khamenei’s death. Khamenei was killed in a US-Israeli airstrike in Tehran on Sunday.

This move by India marks a slight shift in its stance, which had previously not condemned the airstrike that killed Khamenei and maintained a calculated silence in the face of strong opposition demands for a formal statement.

PM Modi Expresses Concern Over Situation in the Middle East

PM Narendra Modi expressed his concern over the situation in the Middle East. He stated that India has always advocated for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve such conflicts. India’s reaction was similar to that of the G7 democracies, none of which issued condolence messages. The opposition is demanding this, pointing to India’s long-standing relationship with Iran.

At one time, India purchased 13% of its oil needs from Iran and traded heavily with it, but this trade declined sharply due to US sanctions imposed on Iran after Iran withdrew from the nuclear deal.
