US President Donald Trump has given an ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, on which Iran’s reaction has come to the fore. The Iranian Supreme Leader’s representative in India, Abdul Majid Hakim Elahi, said on Monday that Trump’s starting a war in Iran was a big mistake, which has had wide-ranging consequences.

Ilahi rejected Trump’s claim

Elahi also rejected Trump’s claim that the US had won the war and cited the continued duration of the conflict. According to ANI, the representative of Iran’s supreme leader in India said, ‘We can respond to this in war and on the streets. They wanted to do something within three days, but now more than a month has passed.

Iran praised India’s foreign policy

Despite criticizing America, Ilahi stressed on reducing tensions and focusing on diplomacy. He said, ‘We have to talk about peace. We have to bring peace in the world. Indian diplomacy is very good and they can play a more important role in this issue. This was a huge mistake from the beginning. This was not just a war against Iran, but a war against all human beings; This was against the whole world. You will see that the result of this war is that many people are suffering in different countries at this time.

What did Ilahi say on Trump’s language?

Ilahi also said that the language of leaders reflects their personal values ​​and outlook. He said, ‘The language every person uses is an expression of his personality, humanity and morality. Therefore, if a person uses abusive language, it means that this is his personality. Even many US senators have denied using such language.

Iran made this appeal to big countries of the world

The IRIN representative said, ‘All countries can play a big role in stopping this war because now this war is affecting many people. Oil prices have increased and even freight costs have increased. So I think it is very necessary and important to set a specific time for the media and world leaders to come together and request President Trump to stop this war.
