Iranian Embassy deactivates donation accounts, expresses gratitude for India's "commendable" support and solidarity following earlier humanitarian contributions.

"In appreciation of the commendable support and solidarity of the noble people of India... - Iranian Embassy in India"

New Delhi, April 10

The Iranian Embassy in India on Friday deactivated the accounts previously designated for receiving monetary contributions in appreciation of the "commendable" support and solidarity of the Indian citizens.

The Embassy further requested to refrain from transferring any funds to the accounts or to any other accounts presented as belonging to it.

In a post on X, the Iranian embassy in India said, " In appreciation of the commendable support and solidarity of the noble people of India, it is hereby informed that the Embassy accounts previously designated for receiving monetary contributions have now been deactivated."

It added, "Accordingly, you are kindly requested to refrain from transferring any funds to these accounts or to any other accounts presented as belonging to the Embassy."

Earlier, the Iranian Embassy in India March 22 thanked the "kindness" and "humanity" of Indians for donating money and jewellery to rebuild Iran.

The Embassy said they will remember India's kindness forever.

"We will never forget your kindness and humanity. Thank you, India," the embassy said.

"With hearts full of gratitude, we sincerely thank the kind people of Kashmir for standing with the people of Iran through their humanitarian support and heartfelt solidarity; this kindness will never be forgotten. Thank you, India," it further said.

The embassy also noted the sacrifice of a woman who donated the momento of her husband, who passed away 28 years ago.

"A respected sister from Kashmir donated the gold kept as a memento of her husband, who passed away 28 years ago, with a heart full of love and solidarity for the people of Iran. Your tears and pure emotions are the greatest source of comfort for the people of Iran and will never be forgotten. Thank you, Kashmir. Thank you, India."

Locals in Budgam had donated gold, silver, and cash to support Iran in the wake of the Gulf War crisis, showing their solidarity with the country.

Speaking to ANI, Mohsin Ali from Budgam said a stall has been set up at Masjid Imam Zaman with the sincere purpose of collecting donations.

"At Masjid Imam Zaman, we have set up a stall with the sincere purpose of collecting donations. Our mothers and sisters are contributing jewellery, copper, and cash so that we can support Iran in its current situation," Mohsin Ali said.

He said that since they cannot go to Iran to support, they can at least provide financial aid to support Iran and to serve humanity.

Good move by the embassy to deactivate the accounts and make a clear announcement. It prevents any potential misuse by fraudsters who might create fake accounts. The support from Indians, especially Kashmir, is commendable, but we must also be cautious.

While the humanitarian gesture is beautiful, I respectfully question if our own house is in order. We have many crises within India that need urgent funds and attention. Shouldn't our primary solidarity be with our fellow citizens first?

As an expat living in Delhi, this story is a beautiful example of India's compassionate heart. It's not about politics, it's about people helping people. The embassy's gratitude seems genuine.

The people of Budgam have shown incredible generosity. Donating gold and savings is no small thing. Iran will remember this gesture for a long time. It strengthens people-to-people ties, which are more lasting than government diplomacy sometimes.

A very classy and transparent move by the Iranian Embassy. They got the support they needed, acknowledged it gracefully, and now have shut the channel to prevent any confusion. Well handled. 👏
