Iran Supreme Leader's Representative Calls India Land of Loyalty, Humanity
Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei called for a nationwide effort to rebuild infrastructure damaged during the conflict
Lucknow: The representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in India, Abdul Majid Hakim Elahi, expressed gratitude towards Indians who joined the mourning of late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Lucknow, calling India a land of “loyalty and humanity.”
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Elahi said Khamenei was “the voice of those who had no voice” and praised the voluntary participation of people in the mourning. He added that their presence reflected India’s values of humanity, morality, and loyalty.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28, which triggered a wider West Asia conflict. Iran retaliated with attacks on US and Israeli assets, escalating tensions across the region.
In India, the Shia community held protests against the United States and Israel following the incident.
Meanwhile, Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei called for a nationwide effort to rebuild infrastructure damaged during the conflict. In a message marking Islamic Republic Day and National Nature Day, he emphasized the need to restore prosperity and protect the nation’s environment.
He also condemned external forces, accusing the US and Israel of targeting not just people but Iran’s land and natural resources, and urged citizens to focus on internal development.
At the same time, US President Donald Trump warned of possible intensified military action against Iran, saying Washington is close to ending what he called Tehran’s “threat,” even as diplomatic talks continue.
