Shillong: India has formally expressed regret over the latest wave of violence in West Asia, describing the ongoing escalation as a matter of significant concern for the global community. The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement highlighting the severe consequences of the conflict, which has persisted for more than 100 days. The ministry stated, "India deeply regrets the renewed attacks in West Asia. These developments are a matter of utmost concern to the international community."
The government called for an immediate reduction in tensions and emphasized the necessity of protecting civilians. Indian officials urged all involved parties to prioritize diplomatic negotiations to restore regional stability. Amid these rising tensions, the Indian Embassy in Tehran has advised its citizens to avoid travel to Iran and recommended that those currently in the country depart using any available transport.
Military operations have intensified across the region. The Israel Defence Forces confirmed strikes on a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, Iran, while reporting that its defense systems intercepted Iranian missiles launched earlier in the day. Meanwhile, Ali Abdollahi, a top commander at Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned Israel of further retaliation if it persists with attacks in Lebanon and near Beirut. The current cycle of violence follows a series of strikes earlier this year that resulted in the deaths of high-ranking Iranian officials, leading to a breakdown in previous peace negotiations.
