During an event in New Delhi, Iranian Ambassador to India, Mohammed Fathali, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Indian people for their support during a recent crisis following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He noted that Indians stood 'shoulder to shoulder' with Iranians, offering condolences and sympathy. Fathali highlighted the deep bond between the two civilizations, regardless of religious affiliations. Following Khamenei's death in US strikes, large mourning processions occurred throughout India, and the Shia community in Jammu and Kashmir organized a donation campaign for Iran. The ambassador reassured that the safety of Indian expatriates in West Asia is a priority for Tehran. He reaffirmed Iran's commitment to maintaining strong diplomatic relations with India, valuing India's stabilizing role on the global stage.
