While the sentiment of peace is commendable, I hope such delegations also consistently speak out for innocent lives lost in all conflicts, not just selective ones. True peace advocacy must be universal.

India and Iran share deep historical and cultural ties. Our Sufi saints have always promoted love beyond borders. This is our 'Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb' in action. Proud of this initiative.

In these tense times, such messages of solidarity from revered spiritual centers are much needed. The call for world leaders to choose dialogue over violence is crucial. More power to them.

The article mentions prayers for Iranian children and civilians. As an Indian, my heart goes out to all innocent people suffering anywhere. We must remember our own human values first. Good step.

This is diplomacy of the heart, which is often more powerful than statecraft. When spiritual leaders talk, people listen. Hope this fosters more people-to-people connections between our nations.
