India has maintained diplomatic contacts with Tehran regarding the Israel-Hamas war and bilateral issues. Iran strongly condemned the air strikes in Yemen, while the Houthis expressed solidarity with the Palestinians. Jaishankar’s visit was planned prior to the conversation with the US counterpart Antony Blinken. India has refrained from commenting on the air strikes.
