India has expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions in the Middle East following a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting military infrastructure in Iran. In a statement released by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Saturday, the government reiterated its call for restraint and urged all parties involved to return to dialogue and diplomacy.
“We are deeply concerned by the evolving escalation in West Asia and its ramifications for peace and stability in the region and beyond,” the MEA statement read. “The ongoing hostilities are to nobody’s benefit, even as innocent hostages and civilian populations continue to suffer. Our Missions in the region are in contact with the Indian community.”

Israel Launches Airstrikes On Iran’s Military Infrastructure
The airstrikes by Israel occurred as a response to ballistic missiles fired by Iran towards Israel earlier this month. According to the Israeli military, the pre-dawn airstrikes aimed at facilities used by Iran to manufacture the missiles, as well as surface-to-air missile sites. While explosions were reported in Tehran, Iranian officials claimed that the attacks caused only “limited damage”, news agency AP reported. Iran’s Al-Alam television reported that two Iranian troops were killed in the incident.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry responded by asserting its right to self-defence, stating that it “considers itself entitled and obligated to defend against foreign acts of aggression.”
According to AP, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari commented, “Iran attacked Israel twice, including in locations that endangered civilians, and has paid the price for it.” He emphasised that the Israeli Defence Forces had fulfilled their mission and warned that any new round of escalation from Iran would compel Israel to respond.
The recent developments risk intensifying the conflict between Israel and Iran, especially at a time when militant groups backed by Iran, such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, are already engaged in hostilities with Israel.
