India Condemns Pakistan at UN; Abstains on Climate Vote; US-Iran Talks and Call Center Fraud Reported

At the United Nations, India condemned Pakistan's cross-border violence causing Afghan civilian casualties, describing it as consistent with Pakistan's internal actions. India abstained from a UN General Assembly climate change resolution, citing concerns over its impact on the UN Framework Convention. Separately, Pakistan's Interior Minister met Iran's Foreign Minister to discuss US-Iran talks amid reports of a possible Pakistani Army Chief visit to Tehran. Additionally, US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly had a tense call regarding Iran. The US also shut down an India-based call center involved in fraud targeting elderly Americans.
