Amid rising tensions in West Asia, Israel’s Ambassador to India Reuven Azar has addressed speculation linking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Israel visit with the timing of military strikes on Iran. The envoy said the operation was approved only after Modi had completed his visit and left the country. According to Azar, the decision was taken by Israel’s security cabinet nearly two days later, once an operational window emerged. The strike, carried out alongside the United States, was based purely on strategic considerations. Azar emphasised that there was no plan for the strike during Modi’s meetings in Israel. The clarification comes as tensions in the region remain high and global attention stays focused on the evolving geopolitical situation.
