PM Modi's Israel Visit Precedes US-Israel Strikes on Iran Amid Regional Tensions

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Israel on February 25-26, expressing strong support for Israel amid ongoing regional tensions. Shortly after his visit, the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran targeting military and nuclear sites. Opposition leaders, notably Congress's Jairam Ramesh, criticized Modi's visit as showing 'moral cowardice' and undermining India's traditional diplomatic balance. Analysts noted the strikes were likely timed to avoid coinciding with Modi's presence in Israel. The military actions have raised concerns about escalating conflict and regional stability.
