The Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday said that India stands ready to play a part in dialogue and diplomacy in order to address and resolve the multiple conflicts in the Middle East region.
In a statement, the ministry said India has been following developments overnight relating to the conflict between Iran and Israel, including the US action against Iran’s nuclear facilities and Iranian retaliation against US military bases in Qatar.
"While we remain deeply concerned about the prospects for overall and sustained regional security and stability, we welcome reports of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel and the role played by the US and Qatar in bringing it about," the statement said.
Israel-Iran ceasefire
The Israel-Iran ceasefire took effect, with Iran's Press TV announcing on Tuesday that the "ceasefire begins following four waves of Iranian attacks on Israeli-occupied territories."
The truce in the 12-day war that threatened to veer out of control on multiple occasions came as a major relief for markets and economies around the world, with oil slipping and gold losing shine and stock markets jumping sharply.
The ceasefire between the two warring sides was first announced by US President Trump early today. He made this announcement minutes after each side threatened new attacks. Iran's final call came hours after an (apparently) final volley of projectiles at Israel.
In a post on social media, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said the military had fought until the "very last minute." Despite this, Israel reported that three separate waves of missile attacks were launched by Iran that same morning.
Israel confirmed its agreement to the truce hours later.
Trump said that a "complete and total" ceasefire between Israel and Iran will go into force with a view to ending the conflict between the two nations.
"On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR'," he wrote on his Truth Social site.
The ceasefire followed American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. In response, Iran launched missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military site in the region. Iran is reported to have given prior warning to reduce potential damage. Al Udeid hosts around 10,000 U.S. troops and serves as the headquarters for the U.S. Central Command.
