India's Role Crucial in Preventing War Between US and Iran: Finnish President

New Delhi: At a time when the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has brought the world to the brink of World War III, India's role is becoming crucial. President of Finland Alexander Stubb has stated with great optimism that India, if it wishes, can immediately prevent a major war between the United States and Iran. Hundreds of lives are being lost in West Asia and the world's busiest waterway, the Strait of Hormuz, has been paralyzed, putting the global economy at risk. In such a difficult situation, this statement by the Finnish President reinforces India's growing global power and image as a'Vishwamitra '. He stressed that India is a country that has the ability and moral influence to bring both sides to the table. India's foreign policy has been extremely balanced and admirable in this crisis. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has played an active diplomatic role in this crisis instead of just making statements. He has also maintained regular phone calls with Prime Minister of Iran Syed Narendra Abbas Araghchi, and has maintained high-level contacts with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
