Mehbooba hails Iran’s resistance, says US and Israel ‘brought to their knees’
Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Monday praised the people of Iran for what she called their resolute fight against powerful adversaries, following the recent escalation involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
“I salute the people of Iran for the sentiment with which they fought and brought the US and Israel to their knees,” Mufti said, in a strongly worded statement.
Taking a swipe at former US President Donald Trump, she added, “Since Trump has come to power, he has belittled the office of the US President.”
Her remarks come in the backdrop of Iran’s missile strikes on a US base in Qatar in retaliation for American airstrikes on its nuclear sites. The situation has spiraled into a high-stakes standoff involving multiple countries in the Middle East, prompting international concern over regional stability.
