Press Release
Official Spokesperson’s response to questions about reports that suggest
the imminent use of military force against Iran
(New
Delhi; July 14, 2008)
In response to
questions about reports that suggest the imminent use of military force
against Iran, the Official Spokesperson stated as follows:
“India is gravely concerned at these statements threatening the use of
military force against Iran. India is against any such military attack,
which constitutes unacceptable international behavior. There is no
military solution to the issues that are being discussed between Iran
and the international community. India continues to support negotiations
and diplomacy, rather than the threat or use of force.
A military strike on Iran would have disastrous consequences for the
entire region, affecting the lives and livelihood of five million
Indians resident in the Gulf, and the world economy.
India calls upon all concerned Governments to exercise restraint and
choose the peaceful path of persuasion and negotiations.” |
