India’s statement regarding the attack on the Iranian Embassy against the accepted principles and norms of international law

Foreign Ministry regarding Israeli strike on Iranian embassy. Iran spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that we have expressed concern over the attack on Iranian diplomatic compounds in Syria on April 1, 2024. India is distressed by rising tensions in West Asia and their potential to fuel further violence and instability. We urge all parties to refrain from actions that go against generally accepted principles and norms of international law.

Israel declined to comment on Monday’s attack in Damascus, which heightened tensions in the Middle East already fueled by the Gaza war and violence linked to Iran-backed groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. The explosions turned the building into a mountain of debris, blowing out windows in nearby buildings and incinerating cars parked on the roadside in a leafy and upscale suburb of the city.

On the security situation in Myanmar, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the security situation in Myanmar remains uncertain and worsening. You have heard about the ongoing fighting, particularly in Rakhine State and other areas. Some time back, we had issued an advisory for our citizens so that they can take appropriate precautions. With regard to Indians who are traveling to Myanmar, they should follow proper safety protocols and take care of themselves while the Embassy is there to take care of them. We have transferred our staff from the Sittwe Consulate to Yangon.
