India's Home Ministry Advises States to Monitor Pro-Iran Preachers Amid Middle East Tensions

Following the reported death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel strike, India's Ministry of Home Affairs issued a letter on February 28 urging states to monitor pro-Iran radical preachers and social media activities linked to extremists. The ministry warned of potential domestic ripple effects from global tensions and advised heightened security at US and Israeli diplomatic missions. States have reported protests by Shia mourners but no major violence, with authorities maintaining vigilance to prevent law-and-order issues.
