India Expresses Condolences for Iran's Former Leader Khamenei India has formally expressed condolences for the death of Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, six days after his passing. Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misra visited the Iranian embassy in Delhi today and signed a condolence book in tribute to Khamenei. The gesture comes amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, where India has consistently advocated for peace. While India has publicly condemned Iran's attacks on Gulf nations, it has remained neutral in the recent U.S. military strike against Iranian naval forces in the Indian Ocean. Despite this, Indian officials have not issued immediate statements of condemnation or support for the attack. Meanwhile, Khamenei's death has sparked widespread mourning across India, particularly among Shia Muslim communities, who have expressed deep sorrow and opposition to the violence that preceded his passing. The Indian government's measured response reflects its delicate balancing act between regional alliances and its commitment to non-interference in the region's conflicts.#iran #india #ali_khamenei #shia_muslim #indian_foreign_secretary_vikram_misra
