The Union government has come under attack from Opposition parties for its silence on the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei and five of his family members, including his infant granddaughter, as well as his top advisors, at the start of the conflict on February 28. Although External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar did speak with his Iranian counterpart Syed Abbas Araghchi on that day, there was no mention in any of the readouts of a condolence message or the condemnation of the U.S.-Israeli strikes in the heart of Tehran.
