New Delhi has long prided itself on being friends with everyone in the Middle East. The killing of Khamenei just made that much harder
“Two days after Mr Modi celebrated his visit to Israel, Israel and the US have begun their joint assault on Iran,” Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress party, wrote on social media on Saturday.
“This was fully expected given their military build-up in the last few months,” he said, calling the timing of Modi’s trip “shameful” in light of the strikes that followed.
Modi’s government, for its part, has said India is “deeply concerned” about the Iran conflict and called for restraint and dialogue.
