While I appreciate the sentiment, Iran needs to walk the talk. Their proxy wars and support for groups like Houthis haven't helped regional peace. Actions speak louder than Eid greetings.
Interesting how Iran positions itself as a peacemaker while funding militias across the Middle East. But I'll take any call for de-escalation these days. The region needs it badly.
The Iranian Embassy's message to India is heartwarming. We've had civilizational ties for centuries. Punjab to Hyderabad, Sufi culture binds us. Let's build on that! 🌙✨
The mockery of Israel's Eid wishes by Iran's consulate is unnecessary. Two wrongs don't make a right. If you want peace, start with civility. India maintains good relations with both countries.
As an Indian, I welcome any move towards regional stability. Our foreign policy has always been about 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' - the world is one family. Hope Iran truly works for peace rather than just rhetoric.
