Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference president, Farooq Abdullah, expressed dissatisfaction with Muslim countries for their silence regarding US military actions against Iran and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Abdullah cautioned that the Muslim world could face similar situations if they do not respond.

Abdullah asserted that Iran is unlikely to surrender its goals, drawing a comparison to Karbala. He emphasized that Iran views its current situation as a modern-day Karbala, implying steadfastness despite threats.

Escalating tensions saw new Israeli airstrikes on Iran following Iranian missile attacks on Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces targeted military sites in Iran amid these developments. As US and Israel coordinate actions against Iran, President Trump warned of more consequences unless Iran agrees to peace.
