External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed India's concern over the escalating Middle East conflict, particularly the tensions between Iran and Israel. Speaking at a Washington DC think tank event, Jaishankar highlighted the risks of a full-scale war and stressed the importance of adhering to international humanitarian law to avoid civilian casualties. He acknowledged Israel's need to respond to the October 7 terrorist attack but urged caution in broadening the conflict. Hours after his remarks, Iran launched 180 missiles into Israel following the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, raising fears of a wider regional war.
