Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti, and ruling National Conference (NC) MPs visited the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi on Monday (March 10, 2026) to express condolences over the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader of the Islamic Republic.
The leaders also condemned the U.S.-Israel attacks on the country.
Ms. Mufti accompanied by party legislator and Shia cleric Aga Muntazir Mehdi met Iranian ambassador Dr. Mohammad Fathali. “India and Iran have shared decades of friendship. When India faced sanctions after its nuclear tests, Iran stood by us and continued supplying oil. It’s painful to see India now side with Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu, against whom the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants over alleged war crimes in Gaza,” she said.

“We pray that Iran emerges as victorious in its fight against evil, as it stands alone. It seems all those whose names surfaced in the Epstein files are standing with Israel. Unfortunately, our country has changed its policy towards Iran,” said Ms. Mufti added.
