In a statement shared on X, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, “On Friday evening, Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar held a telephone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi. During the conversation, Jaishankar extended deep sympathies of the government and people of India to the government and people of Iran following the Israeli regime’s attacks, which led to the loss of innocent lives.”
“Jaishankar referred to his recent phone consultations with his French counterpart and stressed the importance of strengthening international efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region. Araghchi appreciated India’s solidarity with Iran and its condemnation of the Israeli regime’s aggression.
He said, “We were in the middle of a diplomatic process and engaged in consultations with our Omani counterpart to prepare for a new round of talks with representatives of the US government but the Israeli regime’s acts of aggression including attacking Iran, assassinating military commanders, and killing civilians and academic elites derailed the diplomatic path,” it added.
