India Offers Condolences on Khamenei's Death, Foreign Secretary Signs Condolence Book

India officially expressed condolences on the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a joint US-Israel airstrike on February 28. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri signed the condolence book at the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi and met with Iran's ambassador. While India called for resolving the West Asia crisis through dialogue and diplomacy, it had initially refrained from commenting on Khamenei's death, drawing criticism from opposition parties. Iran is currently in the process of selecting a new Supreme Leader amid ongoing regional tensions.
