Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday welcomed the peace negotiations between the United States and Iran amid the conflict in West Asia and urged faster restoration of
peace and stability in the region, along with ensuring freedom of navigation.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister highlighted how the conflict resulted in serious
economic disruptions and loss of life in many countries due to the conflict.
He said that New Delhi looks forward to the deliberations on the remaining issue in order
to reach a sustainable final agreement.
“I welcome the understanding reached between the United States and Iran on ending the
conflict in West Asia, which has caused serious economic disruption across the world and
led to loss of life in many countries,” PM Modi said.
“India hopes that the implementation of this understanding will help restore peace and stability in the region and ensure the freedom of navigation and commerce. We look forward to deliberations on the remaining issues reaching a sustainable final agreement,” PM Modi wrote on X
A major diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran was announced on
Sunday, with President Trump saying that the agreement would bring “peace and
security” to West Asia and facilitate the reopening of the critical energy chokepoint Strait
of Hormuz.
Following the announcement, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International
Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, confirmed the peace deal and outlined Tehran’s conditions
for moving forward with negotiations.
“The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” US President Donald Trump
announced on Sunday on his Truth Social platform. “Ships of the world, start your
engines. Let the oil flow!”
According to Iran’s state-affiliated Press TV, Gharibabadi said the official signing
ceremony would take place on Friday, after which the text of the Memorandum of
Understanding would be released publicly. He stated that Iran would enter a proposed
60-day negotiation period for a final agreement only after verifying that the United States
had fulfilled commitments related to ending hostilities, lifting the blockade and releasing
Iranian assets.
