Peace in the Middle East is crucial for global stability and energy security, which directly impacts our economy. Hope any proposal genuinely respects sovereignty and doesn't just create new spheres of influence. The world needs less tension, not more. 🙏

While dialogue is always welcome, we must remember China's own record on respecting sovereignty in its neighborhood. It's a bit rich coming from them. India's position has always been balanced and principled – we should continue on that path and engage with all sides independently.

The Iran-US talks in Islamabad and now this... Pakistan seems to be trying to position itself as a mediator. India has much stronger historical and people-to-people ties in the Gulf. Our diplomacy should be proactive, not reactive, to these developments.

The Strait of Hormuz is a lifeline for India's oil imports. Any escalation there is a direct threat to our energy security. All major powers, including China and the US, need to act responsibly. India should also use its good relations with Iran and the Gulf states to advocate for calm.

With elections coming up in many countries, including the US, geopolitical tensions often rise. Hope cooler heads prevail. India's role as a stabilizing force is more important than ever. Jai Hind!
