Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemned US President Donald Trump’s recent threats that a whole civilization could perish if Iran does not comply with his demands. In a post on X, Gandhi stated that any rhetoric suggesting the end of civilization is unacceptable in today's world and reiterated that the use of nuclear weapons can never be justified. Trump's threats came amid military actions targeting Iranian infrastructure, including airstrikes on bridges and a train station. He claimed this would be the final deadline for Iran to reach a deal regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran's representative at the United Nations, Amir-Saeid Iravani, warned of immediate and proportional action if the US follows through with its threats. The situation remains precarious as diplomatic efforts continue to be strained.
