Modi called Iran immediately, but there was one crucial sentence that Modi still didn't say! After the US bombed Iran's nuclear facilities, Indian Prime Minister Modi had a conversation with Iranian President Pezeshkian on Sunday. Despite the US bombing behavior seriously violating international law, Modi said that we have discussed the current situation in detail and expressed deep concern about the recent escalation of the situation.
India advocates calling for an immediate de-escalation of the situation, advancing through dialogue and diplomatic channels, and restoring regional peace, security, and stability as soon as possible. In fact, Iran is very angry about the US bombing. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated: "The warlike and lawless government in Washington should take full responsibility for the dangerous consequences and far-reaching impacts caused by its aggressive actions."
Modi's immediate call to Iran naturally indicates that India-Iran relations are very good. However, even though Iran is very looking forward to India condemning the US, the result is that India has no such action. On the one hand, India maintains close communication with Iran; on the other hand, it does not condemn the US. This of course shows that India doesn't want to offend either side between the US and Iran.
India undoubtedly believes that this kind of balanced diplomacy is most in line with India's interests. However, if Israel attacks Iran and India does not condemn it, and the US bombs Iran and India also does not condemn it, then what is India's attitude towards international law? This raises serious doubts. In fact, this also indirectly shows that the burden of upholding the order centered around the United Nations is something India cannot bear.
