News Topical, Digital Desk : India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Parvathaneni Harish, stated India's clear position on the ongoing conflict in Iran and the Gulf region. He stated that India had expressed deep concern since the fighting began in the region on February 28, 2026. India appealed to all countries to exercise restraint, avoid further escalation of the situation, and prioritize the safety of civilians.
He said that India has consistently maintained that the best way to mitigate such conflict is through dialogue and diplomacy. India also urged all countries to resolve their differences peacefully and avoid any aggressive actions. It is also important to respect the sovereignty and borders of every country.
Commercial ships were also targeted.
Harish expressed regret that commercial ships were also targeted during this war. He stated that Indian sailors serving on the ships also lost their lives in these attacks, which is deeply saddening. India believes that attacking commercial ships is completely wrong, as it endangers the lives of innocent people and disrupts international trade. He specifically mentioned the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea route for the world.
India has stated clearly that movement and trade along this route must proceed without obstruction. Any obstruction or threat there is against international law and is unacceptable. India reiterated its appeal to all countries to respect international law and ensure that shipping and global trade through the Strait of Hormuz continue to flow safely and smoothly.
