Amid escalating US-Israel strikes on Iran and rising tensions in West Asia, Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have urged the Indian government to prioritize the safety of Indian nationals in the region. They condemned the targeted killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called for de-escalation, and emphasized the need for diplomatic and evacuation measures.
