Amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran, Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, the representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader in India, strongly criticised recent comments by US President Donald Trump. He called the war a “big mistake” and said it has caused serious consequences across the world.

Reaction to Trump’s Hormuz Warning

Ilahi’s remarks came after Trump warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The US President also threatened harsh action if Tehran failed to comply. In response, Ilahi said such warnings are not new. He suggested that similar statements have been made for decades without success.

“It is not anything new... They couldn't do anything to us for 47 years. They can't do anything else,” he told ANI.

Rejects US Claims of Victory

Ilahi also dismissed Trump’s claim that the United States had already won the war. He pointed out that the conflict has continued far longer than expected.

“We can answer this in battle and on the streets. They wanted to do something within three days, but now it has been more than a month,” he said.

Push for Peace and Diplomacy

Despite his criticism of Washington, Ilahi stressed the importance of peace talks. He urged countries to focus on diplomacy instead of escalation.

"We have to talk about peace. We have to bring peace to the world... Indian diplomacy is very good, and they can also play a more significant role in this issue... From the beginning, it was a very big mistake. It wasn't just this war against Iran, but this war was against all human beings; it was against the whole world. You will see that the result of this war is that a lot of people in different countries are suffering at the moment..."

Criticism of Political Language

Ilahi also spoke about the tone used by global leaders. He said that the language leaders use reflects their personality and values.

"The language which every human being uses is the manifestation of his personality and his humanity and his morality. So, someone who uses rude language means that this is their personality. Even a lot of American senators denied using that language."

Economic Impact Felt Worldwide

Ilahi highlighted the broader impact of the conflict on the global economy. He pointed to rising oil prices and increased shipping costs.

"All countries can play a big role in stopping this war. Because now the war affects a lot of people. The price of oil has increased, and even the price of shipping has increased... So I think it is very necessary and important to set exactly the time in which the media and world leaders come together and they ask President Trump to stop this war."

Call for Collective Action

While defending Iran’s position, Ilahi urged global cooperation to end the conflict. He called on countries, leaders, and the media to work together to reduce tensions and limit the suffering of ordinary people.

The situation remains tense, with growing calls for dialogue and international intervention to restore stability.
