Iran names the country that can play active role to scale down Middle East, Israel-Iran conflicts, it is…

New Delhi: Iran for the time being is without delay caught up at some point of the ongoing military conflict at some point of the Middle East involving Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other non-state para-military units, most commonly is called “the axis of resistance”.

All of it started with a significant attack on southern Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Gradually, other groups joined and it was now now not until October 1 that a u . s ., Iran, flexed its muscles since it bombarded Israel with missiles in a without delay attack said to be the “revenge” for the killings of Ismail Haniyeh, the chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander Abbas Nilforoushan, and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Things stay simmering while Iranian Ambassador to India Iraj Elahi on Friday, 04 October 2024 said that India being a “big power” and “voice” of the Global South can play an “active role” at some point of the de-escalation of conflicts in West Asia/Middle East.

Iranian Ambassador to Iraj Elahi made these observations right through an exclusive interview with PTI Videos and it comes at some point of the backdrop of an intensification in Israel-Hezbollah conflict and Israel-Hamas war.

Iraj Elahi said Iran has reached out to other countries and is in close contact with Russia and China, but now now not in direct contact with India. On the choice hand, he said that Iran “invited India”, to boot to other countries who have influence, to use it and ask Israel to de-escalate.

“We agree with that the region needs peace and stability. We, as Iran, want a resounding region, in place of a resounding u . s .. Peace and stability is the precondition for the event of a u . s ..

“But we won't be indifferent to what's occurring in Palestine. The continuing bloodshed in Palestine is something we won't ignore or neglect,” he said.

“In keeping with our assessment, launching missiles at Israeli military bases and intelligence installations was intended to send a transparent message to Israel. We agree with this strike successfully hit the territory,” he said on the contemporary military operations from Iran and Israel.

“The commander of the proper forces has said explicitly that any attack on Iranian interests and infrastructure will receive a strong response from Iran. We're able to retaliate very strongly,” he said.

Speaking on Iran-India ties, Ambassador Elahi said India is a detailed friend of both Iran and Israel.

“But our relationship goes back 2,000 years, whereas India and Israel’s relationship is now now not that old. India, as a huge power and a voice of the (Global) South, can play an active role at some point of the de-escalation of the region,” Elahi said.

Iran hopes that “India uses its influence and capabilities for de-escalation”, he said.
