Amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East, Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in a crucial conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday, June 22, 2025, to address the rapidly deteriorating situation. The call, prompted by recent and alarming escalations in the conflict between Iran and Israel, saw the Prime Minister express deep concern and reiterate India's consistent call for immediate de-escalation, prioritizing dialogue and diplomacy as the path forward.

The conversation between PM Modi and President Pezeshkian occurred in the wake of significant developments, namely the United States' direct military intervention in the conflict. The US military launched strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites: Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo. These locations are critical components of Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran insists is solely for civilian applications. Sources indicate that President Pezeshkian initiated the call, seeking to brief PM Modi on the evolving circumstances following the US strikes.

During their discussion, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the urgent need for all parties to exercise restraint and return to diplomatic channels to resolve their differences. He stressed the importance of de-escalation to prevent further loss of life and to avoid a wider regional conflagration. Modi underscored India's commitment to regional peace, security, and stability, advocating for constructive dialogue as the most viable solution to the ongoing crisis.

President Pezeshkian, in turn, thanked Prime Minister Modi for India's balanced and considered position. He acknowledged India's significant role in promoting regional peace and stability, emphasizing the importance of India's voice in de-escalating tensions. He briefed PM Modi in detail on the current state of affairs, portraying India as a valued friend and partner in the pursuit of regional stability and security.

The US military's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities mark a significant escalation in the already tense relationship between the two countries. Reports indicate that the Fordo site was targeted by six B-2 bombers, while the other sites were struck by Tomahawk cruise missiles. These actions have triggered strong reactions from global powers, with many expressing concern about the potential for further escalation and wider regional instability.

Iran has vehemently condemned the US strikes, describing them as a "brutal military aggression" and a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called upon the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to take immediate action in response to the attacks.

Prior to the US intervention, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) had initiated a series of strikes targeting military sites in western Iran, following a missile attack allegedly conducted by Iran. This exchange of strikes has further heightened tensions and underscored the urgent need for de-escalation and diplomatic engagement.

Prime Minister Modi's call with President Pezeshkian reflects India's proactive approach to promoting peace and stability in the region. By advocating for dialogue and diplomacy, India aims to play a constructive role in resolving the ongoing crisis and preventing further escalation of the conflict. The emphasis on immediate de-escalation underscores the potential for wider regional conflict and the importance of peaceful resolutions.
