‘Disturbing departure from moral and diplomatic traditions’: Sonia Gandhi slams governments’ silence on Gaza and Iran conflict; calls it ‘surrender of values’
Saturday, 21 June 2025 () Sonia Gandhi has strongly criticized the Modi government's silence on Israel's actions in Gaza and its strike on Iran, calling it a departure from India's diplomatic traditions. She accused the government of abandoning its commitment to a two-state solution and failing to condemn Israel's escalation, urging India to use its diplomatic leverage to promote dialogue and de-escalation in West Asia.
Iran has launched back-to-back strikes targeting nearly all major Israeli cities. Explosive drones and missiles rained down across the country, triggering air raid sirens from Tel Aviv to Haifa and Beersheba.

In a dramatic admission, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has warned that despite military gains in Gaza, Israel is ultimately losing the war. In a public statement, Ayalon said, "No matter how many battles we win, we will lose if there's no political solution." He stressed that without a vision for peace, particularly a two-state solution, Israel risks destroying its own identity as both a Jewish and democratic state. Calling a Palestinian state "Hamas’s worst nightmare," Ayalon urged Israeli leadership to look beyond short-term military victories and invest in long-term political outcomes. His comments come amid growing criticism from Israeli officials and security experts about the government’s handling of the conflict. Ayalon’s voice adds weight to the urgent global calls for a ceasefire and meaningful diplomacy. His stark words have sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles and reignited the debate over the only viable path to peace.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a “strategy of bloodshed,” Erdoğan warned Netanyahu’s government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkey’s foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation. As Ankara joins the growing chorus of condemnation, fears rise over a widening West Asia conflict and potential global fallout.

Iran has launched over 100 Shaheed-136 kamikaze drones toward Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on nuclear and military sites in Tehran. Several UAVs have been spotted over Iraq as Israeli defense systems brace for impact. Supreme Leader Khamenei vows “painful revenge,” while Israel declares a nationwide emergency. Jordan shuts its airspace amid escalating fears of regional war. With U.S. embassies issuing shelter orders and Trump denying involvement, concerns of a full-scale conflict in West Asia—and possibly World War III—are mounting.

Speaking in Qatar, former President Trump criticized U.S. defense contractors for producing drones at exorbitant prices—contrasting them with Iran’s $35K–$40K drones, which he called fast, cheap, and deadly. Trump recounted asking an American company to replicate Iran’s affordable drones, only to be presented with a $41 million model. His remarks spotlight rising defense spending and Iran’s rapid drone advancement, which has positioned the country as a major military force in West Asia. Trump’s comments reignite debate over U.S. defense efficiency, cost, and competitiveness.
