Spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, Randhir Jaiswal, assured that MEA officials are in touch with Iran, monitoring the current situation, and of the Indian community residing in GCC countries. 

 

"Our External Affairs Minister has been talking with his Iranian counterpart, and three conversations have happened in recent days. As far as the impact of the war, it is there for everybody to see what's happening around. Several of our lives have been impacted by it, not just ours, but of people and countries around the world,” said the MEA spokesperson.

 

"The Prime Minister has spoken to several leaders in the Gulf after the conflict started. In these conversations, he stressed the need for dialogue and diplomacy so that early peace can return. He also underlined the need to avoid civilian casualties and he focused on the protection of civilians. We have a large Indian community in the GCC countries and their security and welfare are of utmost importance. This was highlighted. We also, in several cases, condemned the violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states," he added.
