Iran told how India can reduce tension in West Asia? Know here

India-Iran Relations: After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, now Iran has also started believing that India can play an important role in reducing any tension at the global level. Iran's Ambassador to India Iraj Elahi recently said that India is a big power and it can play an active role in reducing conflicts in the Middle East by becoming the voice of the Global South.

This statement comes at a time when the chances of a direct war between Iran and Israel have increased after the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. World leaders have appealed to both sides to exercise restraint, but the level of tension is increasing day by day. Elahi said that Iran has appealed to India and other influential countries for peace amid the conflict.

Historical relations of India-Iran

India has good relations with both Israel and Iran, and for this reason world powers are looking at India as a mediator. Elahi emphasised that "India also has good relations with Israel, but they are not as old as those with Iran. India-Iran relations are almost 2,000 years old."

Iran expects India to use its influence to reduce tensions in the Middle East.

Iran's security assurance

When asked about possible Israeli retaliatory attacks, the ambassador said Iran is a safe country for Indians and citizens of other countries. He also said that Iran's Chabahar Port and other connectivity projects, which are the backbone of India-Iran relations, are safe. Elahi assured that Iran's territory is safe for international trade and relations.

Cooperation with China and Russia

The Iranian ambassador also said that Iran is in close dialogue with China and Russia amid tensions, with security information being exchanged between the three countries. He said Iran has also urged India and other countries to play an active role in reducing tensions.

Conclusion

India's emergence as a mediator is a significant development, which can be significant not only for Indian diplomacy but also for global politics. Iran's belief that India can establish peace in the region gives it a vital role, which will benefit not only India's interests but also global peace and stability. If India uses this opportunity properly, it can not only promote regional peace but also strengthen its international relations.
