Iran-US war spreading to Middle East evokes 'great anxiety': India

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States. With nearly 10 million Indian nationals residing and working in the Gulf region, the MEA emphasized that their safety remains a top priority amid the rising hostilities. The situation has generated widespread anxiety within India, as the conflict poses significant risks not only to the Indian diaspora but also to regional stability. The MEA is closely monitoring developments and is committed to ensuring the well-being of its citizens abroad. This growing unrest in the Middle East underscores the broader geopolitical implications and the potential for further escalation, prompting Indian authorities to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding their nationals and interests in the region.
