"We must bring this war to an end... It's time to stop, here and now. - Annu Kapoor"

Mumbai, March 21

On the occasion of Eid, veteran actor Annu Kapoor extended his heartfelt greeting to all, while calling for peace and an end to the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Speaking to ANI, Kapoor said, "I would like to wish all a very happy and blessed Eid." He highlighted the importance of the festival as a time for reflection, harmony and goodwill.

The actor also expressed concern over the escalating war in West Asia, urging world powers and parties involved to halt the hostilities.

"While people everywhere are struggling with hunger, weapons keep flowing. We must bring this war to an end. To everyone involved, I make a heartfelt appeal: whatever your reasons, be they religious, geographical, or geopolitical, this conflict is a severe threat to all of us. It's time to stop, here and now," Annu Kapoor urged.

The development comes against the escalating tensions and conflict that began on February 28 with the killing of 86-year-old Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in joint military strikes by the US and Israel, after which Iran, in its retaliation, targeted Israeli and US assets in several Gulf countries and Israel, causing disruption in the waterway and affecting international energy markets and global economic stability.

Due to the conflict in the region, Iran has virtually closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit route for global energy supply.

Following the death of Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the former leader, was appointed as the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.

While I appreciate the sentiment, celebrities often make these generic appeals. The real solution needs strong diplomatic action. India has a big stake here with our diaspora and energy needs. The government should push harder for dialogue.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is a massive concern. It's not just a regional issue anymore; it's hitting economies worldwide. Kapoor is right to connect the festival's message of harmony to this urgent global crisis.

Eid is about compassion and community. In times like these, that message is more important than ever. Hope the powers that be are listening. We common people just want to live in peace and afford petrol for our vehicles! 😅

Respect to Annu ji for speaking up. In our country, we have many festivals and communities, and the essence of all is peace. This war is causing unnecessary suffering. India has always stood for peaceful resolution - we must lead by example now.

The timing is so crucial. With a new Supreme Leader in Iran, the situation is very volatile. India's foreign policy needs to be very careful and balanced. We have good relations with many in the region and must use that influence.
