The Iranian Embassy in India on Saturday evening (March 21, 2026) provided details of the conversation between Iran’s President President Masoud Pezeshkian and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the West Asia conflict.
“Dr. President, outlining the dimensions of the aggression, unlawful attacks, and crimes committed by the U. S and the Zionist regime, emphasized that Iran did not initiate the war. He stated that the aggressor, without any justification, logic, or legal basis, launched military attacks against Iran during ongoing nuclear negotiations, resulting in the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, senior military commanders, and a number of defenceless civilians, including innocent schoolchildren, as well as targeting public infrastructure,” the Embassy said in a post on X.
Referring to India’s rotating presidency of BRICS, Mr. Pezeshkian also called for the group to play an independent role in halting aggressions against Iran and in safeguarding regional and international peace and stability.
“President also proposed the establishment of a regional security framework composed of countries of West Asia, aimed at ensuring peace and stability in the region through regional cooperation without foreign interference,” the Embassy added.
