Iran Welcomes Diplomatic Initiative from India Amid West Asia Conflict
Iran has officially conveyed to New Delhi that it welcomes and is prepared to work on any diplomatic initiative proposed by India regarding the ongoing war in West Asia. This marks a significant shift, as Tehran previously relied on mediators like Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar, and Oman. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated during bilateral meetings in New Delhi that India’s role as a major, impartial country is highly valued. He emphasized that while mediators facilitate rather than engage substantively, India’s potential initiative would be received positively. This development occurs against the backdrop of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s earlier assertion that India would not act as a broker in global geopolitics. Additionally, tensions within the BRICS grouping were highlighted, with Iran criticizing a neighboring member, reportedly the UAE, for insisting on condemning Iran in a final declaration following US and Israeli strikes. Iran appreciates India’s balanced stance as the current BRICS chair, aiming for a successful meeting outcome without signaling division within the bloc.
