The war in West Asia has changed dramatically in a day. Now, US wants to end the war & start negotiations with Iran. But Iran is not agreeable for early negotiations. It has instead expanded the war to achieve strategic objectives which were not available earlier.
Without doubt, the US military is the strongest in the world - in fact, Iran faces NATO plus Israel forces. Problem it with the Commander-in-Chief Trump who does not know what he wants. On the other hand, Iran knows what it wants & is prepared for it.
The world, meanwhile, is witnessing the gradual decline of US military dominance with global implications.
I will discuss all the above in a video to be online by tomorrow March 3 (Tuesday) evening!
The Indian National Congress (INC) unequivocally condemns the targeted assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, in a military strike carried out without a formal declaration of war. The INC extends its deepest condolences to the Supreme Leader's family, to the people of Iran, and the Shia community around the world in this moment of profound grief. We stand in solidarity with them as they navigate this grave crisis.
India's foreign policy is anchored in a commitment to the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and respect for international law, as mandated in Article 51 of the Constitution of India. These principles-sovereign equality, non- intervention and the promotion of peace are foundational to India's civilisational values. Given this, the conflict in West Asia is deeply antithetical to our commitment to Vasudhaiva Kutumbaka ("the world is one family"), Mahatma Gandhi's doctrine of ahimsa (non-violence), Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's policy of non-alignment.
The targeted use of force to destabilise the leadership and governing structures of a sovereign state whether in Iran or earlier in Venezuela-signals a disturbing revival of regime-change doctrines and coercive unilateralism. It also contravenes the United Nations Charter-especially Article 2(4), which expressly prohibits "the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state," and Article 2(7), which forbids intervention in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state. A targeted killing of a sitting head of state strikes at the heart of these international rules. Sovereignty is not conditional, and political legitimacy cannot be manufactured through force.
The INC reiterates that it is the inalienable right of every nation's citizens to determine their own political future. No external power has the authority to engineer regime change or dictate the leadership of another state. Such actions amount to imperialism and are fundamentally incompatible with a genuinely rules- based international order.
Some 1350 years ago, Imam Hussain (ع) marched towards Karbala with his family to challenge the might of Yazeedi system regardless of the strength of his military might.
Today, on the same pattern, the history is being repeated by his spiritual son in IRAN, AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI, regardless of the strength of US-ISRAEL's military might.
But what a heartbreaking tragedy it is for the Muslim Ummah that every after 1350 years, every single neighboring Muslim country (Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan) turned out to be the modern-day Kufa for Ayatollah Khamenei-led IRAN, stabbing in back in the darkest hour.
Had these Muslim countries merely given a hand to IRAN or at least stop intercepting Iranian missiles on US bases, not even the forefathers of US-ISRAEL would have survived in the Middle East for a week.

He is muslim from Badgam #Kashmir ... we call him Jamaal Badgami.. I tell him he is more lucky than me to be nearer to my diety. He is blessed by Mata and has a home in Kashmir while I am still a wanderer in my own country. #HerathMubarak2026@narendramodi
The exodus of Kashmiri Pandits remains one of Kashmir’s deepest tragedies—a wound of displacement, loss, and broken coexistence. It should never have happened. Healing lies in truth, justice, and restoring dignity, trust, and shared belonging.
One word for this man!
Relentless campaigning on Environmental issues and Sanitation across Pulwama.
Can we just recognise his efforts by a single post/RT.

An emotional farewell: Chief Education Officer Kupwara Mehraj-ud-Din Shah breaks down in tears, kisses his chair, and bids goodbye to the department on his retirement.
The brain of a young, innocent girl was brainwashed, transforming her into a hardcore Naxalite with a bounty of 14 lakh on her head.
Thanks to HM @AmitShah, who introduced the surrender policy for Naxalites, she now has the opportunity to start a new life.
This is how Naxalism is being eradicated rapidly.

@SZainapora kindly intervene. The flood disaster happened on Sep 4. It is now Oct 19. Why no one bothers to fix this problem. Where is the administration. How many more months for a tender. @dmshopian@OmarAbdullah@OfficeOfLGJandK
Why?
Now a days, everyone carries a phone or wears a watch, so why do we still need new clock towers in our towns? That money could fix open manholes & broken drains instead. Walk along DakBungalow Road, Ang, you’ll see many without lids. #UrbanPriority@DCAnantnag@OmarAbdullah
