India Hits Back at Iranian Supreme Leader’s Remarks on Muslims | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India and Iran have a long and complex relationship. While they share deep cultural ties and a history of cooperation, recent events have strained their friendship. The latest tension arose from comments by Iran’s Supreme Leader, who accused India of mistreating its Muslim population. This accusation has been met with strong criticism from India’s Foreign Ministry, who pointed to Tehran’s own human rights record with regards to Sunni Muslims. This is not the first time Tehran’s leadership has targeted New Delhi. In the past, the Supreme Leader has criticised India’s actions in Kashmir and the cancellation of Kashmir’s special status.

Several external factors have been affecting the India-Iran ties. In the past, US sanctions forced India to stop buying Iranian oil, pushing Tehran towards China. Moreover, New Delhi’s support for Israel during the recent Gaza conflict likely did not sit well with Tehran. What does the future of India-Iran ties look like? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.
