Iran PRAISES Indian Public for Backing Tehran in Israel War | Modi Govt LEFT OUT of Embassy Thanks [Video]

Iran PRAISES Indian Public for Backing Tehran in Israel War | Modi Govt LEFT OUT of Embassy Thanks

Amid rising Middle East tensions, Iran’s embassy in Delhi issued a statement thanking Indian citizens, political parties, and institutions for standing with Tehran during its conflict with Israel. Notably, the statement avoided mentioning the Indian government, which maintained a neutral stance. India also withheld its signature from the SCO declaration condemning Israeli strikes. While Iran praised people-to-people solidarity, BJP supporters were seen backing Israel—reflecting India’s shifting geopolitical balancing act. With historic ties to Iran and growing defense ties with Israel, India walks a tightrope in a polarized region. #IndiaIran #MiddleEastTensions #IranIsraelConflict #Modi #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire Also Read Bihar News: Govt Sets Up 9-Member Trust to Build Grand Maa Janaki Temple at Punaura Dham :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bihar-government-forms-trust-for-maaa-janaki-temple-construction-012-7784411.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru Power Cut On June 27: Several Areas to Face No Electricity For 7 Hours, Says BESCOM :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-power-cut-on-june-27-several-areas-to-face-no-electricity-for-7-hours-says-bescom-011-7783953.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
