Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent two-day visit to Israel, Israel's ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, revealed that the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran were executed after Modi's departure. He stated that the 'right moment' for the operation was reached after years of planning and military buildup. The Israeli security cabinet approved the operation shortly after Modi left, although discussions about regional conflicts took place during his visit. The timing has drawn criticism from the Indian opposition, particularly Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, who condemned Modi's visit as 'moral cowardice' in light of the strikes. The situation in the Middle East remains precarious, especially with the ongoing tensions following the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the operation. India has issued advisories for its nationals in the Gulf region amid flight disruptions.
