In the wake of the Israel-US attack on Iran, the Union Home Ministry has directed all states and Union Territories to intensify surveillance on pro-Iran radical preachers and extremist elements, warning that global developments could trigger domestic law-and-order challenges. According to officials, the Ministry circulated a letter to all states on February 28 asking them to closely monitor pro-Iran radical preachers making inflammatory statements that could potentially incite violence. The circular further directed authorities to strengthen security at consulates, embassies, and other diplomatic offices of the United States and Israel within their jurisdictions. Additional security cover has also been advised for other entities linked to the two countries to prevent any untoward incident and maintain peace and tranquillity. The advisory comes amid heightened tensions following the reported death of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel strike.
