Government Response to Conflict
Regarding recurring international conflicts, Minister Parameshwara cited complex international relations. He noted policy disagreements between nations. The current situation involves Iran, the United States, and Israel.
The government is observing developments. They are assessing whether the conflict will resolve or escalate. Concerns were raised about civilian casualties. It is regrettable that young people have lost their lives.
