Amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, Iran's representative in India, Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, pushed back against President Trump's warning on the Strait of Hormuz, saying it was a 'big mistake' to start the war.
Ilahi rejected Trump's assertion that the US had 'won' the war, pointing to the continued duration of the conflict.
He stressed the need to shift focus toward de-escalation and diplomacy, calling for global action to end the conflict and limit its impact on ordinary people.
Ilahi also highlighted the wider fallout of the conflict, including economic consequences in the energy and shipping sectors.
