Tehran, July 15. Iran has been shaken by America’s rapid attacks amid the renewed tension in the Middle East. In these latest attacks, till the last news was received on Wednesday night, at least 35 people have died while more than 300 people have been injured.
Iran has called these attacks a violation of sovereignty and warned of retaliatory action. Iranian officials have termed these attacks as aggressive actions and said that their entire focus is on the country’s defense and there are currently no plans for any talks with America.
According to Iranian military sources and state media, the US strikes were mainly aimed at military targets, missile sites and strategic locations. There are reports of casualties among both civilians and military personnel in these attacks.
Iranian officials clarified that the country is now in defense mode. A senior official said, ‘Our focus is completely on national security and defence. At present there are no plans to negotiate or reach any agreement.
This tension has increased after recent incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran attacked some ships. Calling it a retaliatory action, America started attacks on Iranian targets. There are reports of missile and drone attacks from both sides, due to which tension in the area is at its peak.
India again summoned Iran’s deputy ambassador
Meanwhile, after the death of two Indians in the latest attack by Iran, the Indian Foreign Ministry has summoned Iran’s Deputy Ambassador in New Delhi and expressed its serious objection to the entire situation.
This is the second time since the beginning of the war, when India has summoned Iranian embassy officials and expressed its anger over the attack on an Indian ship or the condition of Indians killed in the Iranian attack.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, ‘India strongly condemns these attacks. We condemn incidents of targeting of seafarers and obstruction of free and safe navigation in international waterways, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz. We express deep concern over the renewed attacks and increasing hostilities in West Asia.
India has also appealed to all concerned parties to immediately stop violence and return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy so that peace, security and stability can be quickly restored. In the past few weeks, PM Narendra Modi has also raised the issue of targeting commercial ships and civilian infrastructure several times.
