During a speech in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh highlighted the complexities surrounding the recently announced ceasefire between the United States and Iran. He stated that while a formal ceasefire has been declared, the actual situation on the ground suggests that the crisis is far from over. Singh assured that the Indian government is taking necessary measures to prevent any crisis within the country. He referred to the recent announcement by US President Donald Trump on April 8, which included a temporary halt to military actions against Iran and hinted at a potential diplomatic opening between the two nations. Furthermore, Singh noted that trilateral ceasefire talks are taking place in Islamabad, involving the US, Iran, and Pakistan, representing the highest-level negotiations since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran.
