Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has sparked controversy by comparing the plight of Muslims in India to those in Gaza and Myanmar, stating that Muslims cannot ignore such suffering. His remarks, made on social media during the Islamic Unity Week, have drawn a strong rebuke from India's Ministry of External Affairs, which labeled them as 'misinformed' and 'unacceptable.' The Indian government urged Iran to reflect on its own minority rights before commenting on others' internal issues. Khamenei's past criticisms of India include references to events in Kashmir and the 2020 Delhi riots, highlighting his ongoing concern over the treatment of Indian Muslims. Despite historical cooperation between India and Iran, such public disagreements may strain their bilateral relations. The incident underscores the complexities of international diplomacy amid rising global tensions regarding minority rights.
