J&K PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday expressed strong support for Tehran in its war against Israel and strongly criticised US President Donald Trump for carrying out strikes on nuclear facilities.
She said the strikes could have threatened the existence of millions of people living in the region due to nuclear hazards (Nuclear Leakages). She termed the ceasefire a positive development and good news for the rest of the international community.
She spoke in an emotionally charged tone and praised the Iranian people, their military and their commitment to their country despite having a clear disadvantage against Israel and the United States.
She said, “I salute the resolve of the Iranian people and their army for fighting a war with several disadvantages, including a mediocrely equipped air force, and without having a nuclear bomb.”
She pointed out that in just a few days Iran not only managed to deal a decisive blow to Israel, which thought it would be a cakewalk, but also forced the US to bend down its rhetoric within hours after launching a synchronised attack on the US bases in the region.
She launched a scathing attack on the United States for destroying “six Middle Eastern nations, including Afghanistan”. The US destroyed Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan and then masked the destruction under terms like ‘democracy’ or ‘regime change. ” She said, “America should take a lesson from this war,” as their interference led to a loss of prestige.
While highlighting India’s position in the Iran-Israel war, she said, India has shared historical relations with Iran, but in a time of need, they adopted a different policy. She concluded by saying the ceasefire is great news and is completely welcome.
