Interview | ‘Iran will never go nuclear, India can help end this war,’ says Khamenei’s representative “Our supreme leader issued a fatwa. He said nuclear weapons are forbidden, haraam. So, we don't have it. We don't want to have it. We are not looking for it,” said Ilahi. Ending the war in West Asia depends on countries that started it, he said. He dismissed Pakistan’s claim that it was mediating between Iran and the US. #India #Iran #Interview #nuclear_weapons #supreme_leader #Khamenei #leader_issued #representative #fatwa #nuclear

From CAA criticism to Kashmir remark: History that frames India’s silence over Khamenei’s demise India's measured response to Iran's supreme leader's assassination, focusing on regional de-escalation, has sparked domestic criticism. While condemning Iranian strikes on Gulf allies, New Delhi has avoided direct condemnation of the killing, prioritizing national interests like energy security and diaspora welfare. This stance contrasts with past criticisms of Iran's internal affairs. #supreme_leader #Kashmir_remark #frames_India #demise_India #India_measured #leader_assassination #regional_de-escalation #measured_response #sparked_domestic #CAA_criticism
Secretary of State Marco Rubio Discusses U.S.-Israel Strikes on Iran Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed reporters ahead of a meeting with congressional leaders on Capitol Hill, detailing the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran. The operation, conducted over the weekend, resulted in the deaths of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his wife, and several senior military officials. Rubio emphasized the strategic rationale behind the strikes, framing them as a response to Iran’s growing missile capabilities and its efforts to develop a shield for its nuclear program. Rubio stated that the operation aimed to neutralize Iran’s short-range ballistic missile threat, which he described as a critical security risk. He highlighted Iran’s long-term strategy to build a conventional weapons arsenal, including thousands of drones and missiles, to create a deterrent against potential attacks. This, he argued, would allow Iran to operate with impunity, using its nuclear ambitions as a bargaining chip. “They are trying to put themselves in a position of immunity,” Rubio said, noting that Iran’s missile stockpile could eventually overwhelm defensive systems. The strikes, Rubio explained, were preemptive, driven by intelligence assessments that Iran would retaliate against U.S. or Israeli forces. He cited the rapid activation of Iran’s missile forces within hours of the initial attack, underscoring the urgency of the operation. “We knew an attack was coming, and if we didn’t act first, we would have suffered higher casualties,” he said. Rubio also addressed concerns about the operation’s legality, clarifying that the U.S. had notified Congress 48 hours in advance as required by law. While he acknowledged the difficulty of informing all 535 members of Congress, he emphasized compliance with legal protocols.#supreme_leader #iran #marco_rubio #ayatollah_ali_khamenei #secretary_of_state
Rubio says ‘purpose’ of U.S. operations is to ‘destroy’ Iran’s missile capabilities Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed congressional leaders on U.S. military operations in Iran, emphasizing the goal of dismantling the country’s missile capabilities. The discussion centered on the Trump administration’s decision to launch strikes against Iran, which resulted in the death of the nation’s Supreme Leader. The conflict has escalated into a broader regional war, with significant implications for international relations and security. Rubio’s remarks highlighted the strategic objective of the operations, stating that the mission was to neutralize Iran’s ability to threaten U.S. interests through its missile arsenal. The strikes, which targeted key infrastructure and leadership figures, were framed as a necessary response to Iran’s aggressive actions. However, the fallout from the attacks has sparked debates about the long-term consequences of military intervention in the region. The administration’s actions have drawn mixed reactions, with some lawmakers supporting the decision as a decisive move against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, while others warn of the risks of further destabilizing an already volatile area. The killing of the Supreme Leader has intensified tensions, raising questions about the potential for retaliatory measures and the broader impact on global security. Analysts suggest that the conflict could lead to prolonged hostilities, with neighboring countries caught in the crossfire. As the situation unfolds, the focus remains on balancing immediate security concerns with the long-term stability of the region. The U.S. military’s involvement continues to be a focal point of political discourse, with calls for both accountability and strategic reassessment.#supreme_leader #iran #marco_rubio #trump_administration #iran_nuclear_ambitions
