On Sunday, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar engaged in a conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, focusing on the concerning and critical situation unfolding in West Asia. The discussion likely revolved around the complex and sensitive matters affecting the region.
"Spoke today with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. Discussed the grave situation in West Asia and the concerns of the international community. Conveyed the importance of preventing escalation and providing humanitarian support. Agreed to stay in touch," Jaishankar posted on X.
Israel has accused Iran of providing support to Hamas, the group responsible for the October 7 attack on Israel, even though Tehran has attempted to distance itself from the incident. Following the Hamas attack, the Gaza Strip has experienced a series of bomb attacks, resulting in the tragic loss of thousands of civilian lives.
