Sonia said that the silence of the Government of India shows that India is withdrawing from its moral and diplomatic traditions. -File photo
Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi has condemned the Israeli attack on Iran. He wrote in an article in The Hindu that Israel is a nuclear power itself, but Iran is being targeted even if there is no nuclear weapon. This is a double criterion of Israel.
He also said that Iran has been an old friend of India and India’s silence is disturbing in such circumstances. India should speak in clear, responsible and strong voice about the destruction in Gaza and the attacks in Iran. It is not late yet.
Read the main things of Sonia Gandhi written in this article …
1. Israel attacked Iran unilaterally and cruel
Sonia Gandhi said on 13 June 2025, Israel unilaterally attacked Iran’s sovereignty, which is dangerous for illegal and regional peace. The Congress condemns these attacks in Iran, which can increase serious instability and conflict at the regional and globally.
Like the attack on Gaza, this Israeli operation is also cruel and unilateral, which was carried out completely ignoring the lives and regional stability of common citizens. Such steps only increase instability and sow seeds of big conflict in the coming times.
The attack took place when diplomatic conversation between Iran-America was going on and there were good signs of it. This year five rounds of talks have been held and the sixth round of talks were to be held in June. In March itself, Tulsi Gabbard, director of the US National Intelligence, told in Parliament that Iran was not working on making nuclear weapons.
Since the program was suspended in 2003, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has not even allowed it to resume.
2. Israel worked to increase terror in Netanyahu’s leadership
Sonia said that in the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has continued to disturb peace and promote terror. This is very unfortunate.
His government is continuously expanding illegal settlements, working closely with extreme nationalist people and is completely denying two-state solution. This not only increased the pain to the Palestinian people, but the entire area was pushed towards long -lasting struggle.
History tells us that Netanyahu had given air to that hatred, which led to the murder of Israeli Prime Minister Yitjhaka Rabin in 1995 and the biggest hope of peace between Palestinians and Israelis was over. Netanyahu’s track record suggests that they do not want talks, but want to increase the matter.
3. Donald Trump also free from his point, this regrettable
It is a matter of regret that US President Trump, who had criticized the US-ended wars and the growing impact of the Military-Industrial Lobby, is now following the same path himself.
He himself has told many times how the war was started by making false allegations of having weapons that brought havoc on Iraq, which destroyed the area and destroyed Iraq.
In such a situation, on June 17, Trump’s denying the report of his own intelligence agency, claiming that Iran is very close to acquiring nuclear weapons, is extremely disappointing.
4. Israel is showing double criteria, it is not valid
It can be assumed that Israel’s safety concerns may be justified given the history of this region, but double standards are not valid. Israel itself is an atomic power and has a long history of taking military action against its neighbors.
Iran is still part of the Nuclear Non-Prophem Treaty (NPT) and followed the 2015 nuclear deal. The agreement was reached under the supervision of countries like America, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany and European Union. But the US left the agreement unilaterally in 2018, which increased tension in the entire region again.
This tension has also affected India. India has limited the ability of major strategic and economic projects to move forward with re -ban on Iran. These projects include the development of International North-South Transport Corridor and Chabahar Port.
5. Iran’s old friend of India, who supported many occasions
Iran has been an old friend of India, and has a deep connection between the two civilizations. Iran has supported India on several occasions. In 1994, Iran helped block a proposal in the United Nations, criticizing India on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.
Israeli action against Iran is fully supported by Western countries and has no accountability. The attack on Israel by Hamas on 7 October 2023 was condemned by the Congress, but at the same time we cannot remain silent on the cruel action of Israel.
More than 55,000 Palestinians have lost their lives. The whole family, locality and even hospitals have been destroyed. Gaza is on the verge of starvation, and the general public there is facing the pain that we cannot even imagine.
6. It’s not delay yet, India should speak in support of Iran
In the time of this human crisis, the Narendra Modi government has almost completely abandoned India’s two-state solution. A solution in which independent Palestine, along with Israel, can live in association with safety and honor.
The devastation in Gaza and now the Government of India silence on the military action against Iran without provocation, that India is withdrawing from its moral and diplomatic traditions. It is not just a matter of losing voice, but also a renunciation of values.
But it is still not late. India should speak clearly, behave responsibly and use every diplomatic medium to reduce stress and promote interaction in West Asia.
