Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday reaffirmed solidarity with the Gulf nations facing Iran’s retaliatory attacks, citing "sovereignty and territorial integrity" to seemingly tilt towards the US-Israel combine the delicate balance India has been maintaining in the conflict. He remained silent on the US-Israel strikes on Iran, which too claims violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. “Discussed the evolving situation in West Asia with Crown Prince and PM of Saudi Arabia, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman. India condemns the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia in violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Modi posted on X. He added that the government was working with the Gulf countries to ensure the safety of all Indians living in the region.
