The Congress has voiced strong criticism against US President Donald Trump's decision to conduct airstrikes on Iran, calling it a contradiction of his diplomacy advocating stance. This critique was echoed by Congress general secretary in-charge, Jairam Ramesh.
Ramesh highlighted the stark silence of the Modi administration on the issue, urging it to display greater moral courage and to condemn both the US and Israel's aggressive actions. He emphasized the necessity for immediate diplomacy and dialogue with Iran.
This comes after the US targeted three key Iranian nuclear sites, which has led to heightened fears of an exacerbated regional conflict. Many international voices are calling for restraint and de-escalation through dialogue.
