Abdul Majeed Hakim Elahi, representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran, has appealed to stop the ongoing war in West Asia. He said that everyone in this area has been suffering because of the war. He gave this statement in a press conference. Ilahi has asked all countries to appeal to America and Israel to stop the war. With this, the situation in the area should become normal again.

He said that we need fairness and justice. Instead of asking why Iran, we should ask those who started this war. Please stop this, because we are all suffering from this.

‘If an appeal is made to stop the war, everything will become normal’
He said that if Israel and America are appealed to stop the war, then everything will become normal again. He asked whether it is acceptable and fair to tell all countries that they should deal with a particular country? They should not buy anything from that country. Nor should any business be done with him? Why are we living this kind of life? Elahi said that Iran tried its best to avoid this war, but in the end we were forced to join.

He said that as you know, Iran did not want this war. Iran was forced to join it. Iran tried many times to avoid this conflict. Gave many proposals to the other party. I don’t know what is the condition of the people of these countries, who want to impose their will on others.

‘They came with the aim of toppling the Iranian government in three days but…’

Iran had started talks in Oman. All delegations declared that the talks were successful. Many achievements were achieved in it. After this suddenly everything was transferred to Geneva. This conversation was to continue. Unfortunately they attacked Iran. Israel and America had planned to end this four-year war in three days. He believed that he could topple the Iranian government in three days. He also gave information to many countries. They will do this.

Told him that there was no need to support Iran. After three days the Islamic Republic will cease to exist. They used 500 aircraft and many missiles. They killed our supreme leader, our defense ministers, many commanders and generals. Killed many civilians. To scare people they attacked the girls’ school. 175 girls were killed in this. No one can believe that this was a mistake. It was a primary school.

More than four thousand civilians have been killed in this war

Ilahi said that so far more than 4,000 civilians have been killed in this war. More than one lakh houses were damaged. More than 4 thousand innocent civilians were killed. More than 50 hospitals and 25 universities have been damaged. More than 40,000 civilians have been injured. They have destroyed bridges, public places, laboratories and institutions. They were not taking any care of the people. There was neither any morality nor any humanity in him. They killed whoever they saw. Finally, he announced that he was going to destroy Iranian civilization. It is more than 7,000 years old.

He said that the enemy wanted unconditional surrender, but Iran was not going to bow down. Ultimately, they could not achieve even a single objective. Iran stood firm against them for 40 days and defended itself. We did not want this war, but Iran did not accept defeat. They wanted unconditional surrender, which no human being can accept. Iran said that we are ready to sacrifice ourselves. We are not ready to bow down. After 40 days, they realized that they could not achieve anything and proposed a ceasefire.

Ilahi said that America suggested a 15-point plan. Iran rejected it and suggested a 10-point plan instead. Even after initially accepting it, America refused to accept it. The talks were to be based on those 10 points. Ilahi said that now that the ceasefire is in force, America has stopped the movement of ships to and from Iran. There is a ceasefire, but there is not a complete ceasefire. This is a situation of neither war nor peace.

He said that the situation in Iran is very good. There is a lot of spiritual feeling among the people. They are living their normal lives. They are working. Are coming. Doing everything. They are not scared. Ready to defend yourself. But the problem is that the problem is being created by surrounding Iran with warships and stopping any ship from coming to Iran.

Larijani died in an air strike

Let us tell you that Ali Larijani, one of the most influential people of Iran and former Supreme National Security Council chief, was killed in an Israeli air strike. Tehran confirmed this on Tuesday (March 17). Earlier, Israel had talked about targeting him. Along with Larijani, his son and bodyguard also died.

Larijani, 67, was widely believed to be taking over the reins of the country following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He was considered a leader who could accommodate all parties, from liberals and reformists to fundamentalists and the Iranian superpower (IRGC). He was also known for leading the country’s nuclear talks with the West.

Will the war end?

US President Donald Trump had hinted at an end to the war citing talks with Iran. Many countries have intensified mediation efforts to end the war. However, the war is still going on in Western Asia. On Tuesday (24 March), Iran bombed Israel and Gulf countries with missiles and drones. Let us tell you that the war between America, Israel and Iran started on 28 February. Today, March 24, is the 25th day of the war.

Iran is currently going through a serious political and economic crisis. The protests that broke out across the country have posed a big challenge to the government. The situation has become so bad that internet and mobile services have been banned in Iran. This crisis is not limited to Iran only, but it can also affect countries like India, whose strategic and trade interests are deeply linked to Iran. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has announced that an additional 25 percent tariff will be imposed on any country that does any kind of trade with Iran. In such a situation, this news is a matter of concern for India, because India is a business partner of Iran.

Why is Iran so important for India?

Iran is a very important part of India’s foreign and trade policy. Iran plays the role of a major transit hub in the projects in which India has invested to strengthen its reach to Central Asia, Russia and Europe. Especially Chabahar port located on the south-eastern coast of Iran is very strategically important for India.

Chabahar Port gives India a direct trade route to Afghanistan, Central Asia and Europe, bypassing Pakistan. This port is also an important part of the International North-South Transport Corridor i.e. INSTC. Through this route, India saves about 40 percent time and about 30 percent cost in export-import. If instability increases in Iran and Chabahar port is affected, India’s geo-economic strategy may suffer a major setback.

What will be the impact on India-Iran trade?

According to government data, bilateral trade between India and Iran stood at around $1.68 billion in the financial year 2024-25. In this, India exported $1.24 billion to Iran, while $0.44 billion was imported. In this way India got a trade profit of about 0.80 billion dollars. The major goods sent from India to Iran include rice, tea, sugar, medicines, electric machinery and artificial fibres. India imports dry fruits, chemicals and glass products from Iran. If the crisis deepens and Chabahar Port or INSTC route is disrupted, India-Iran trade may be directly affected.

Why may India’s problems increase on the oil and gas front?

Iran is among the world’s largest oil and gas producing countries. If the impact of the Iran crisis reaches the Strait of Hormuz, global oil supply could be severely affected. About 20 percent of the world’s crude oil is supplied through this route. India imports more than 80 percent of its crude oil needs. In such a situation, India’s import bill will increase due to increase in oil prices. This will have a direct impact on transportation costs, freight and inflation for the common people. Inflationary pressure in the country may further increase due to increase in the prices of petrol and diesel.

Why is stability in Iran important for India?

The ongoing crisis in Iran is not just a problem of a neighboring country for India, but it is a matter directly related to India’s trade, energy and strategic security. Issues like Chabahar Port, INSTC Corridor and oil supply are related to India’s long-term economic plans. If the situation in Iran worsens, India will have to be prepared for its far-reaching effects.
