Iran Calls for Peace Talks Amid Escalating Tensions with Israel

In a recent development, a senior Iranian diplomat has expressed Tehran's readiness for peace negotiations, conditional upon the condemnation of Israeli military actions. The diplomat highlighted Iran's commitment to peace and security, calling on international powers, including India, to exert pressure on Israel to de-escalate tensions.

Mohammad Javad Hosseini, Iran's Deputy Chief of Mission to India, emphasized the importance of protecting foreign nationals, including Indian citizens, amidst increasing hostilities. He assured that Iran maintains a strong connection with the Indian Embassy, facilitating the safe evacuation of Indian nationals from the conflict zone.

As Israel's Operation Rising Lion continues to target Iran's military capabilities, tensions between the two nations have surged.
