NEW DELHI: (Mar 13) Former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal has said the ongoing conflict in West Asia “needs to stop” because the price that countries are paying all over the world for this war is “unbearable”.
Underlining the global ramifications of the conflict for the world, including the Global South, Europe and the US, if oil prices rise further, he said US President Donald Trump has “committed a huge mistake by attacking Iran” and so has Israel.
Interacting with PTI Videos on Thursday on the sidelines of a national conclave being hosted here by Bengaluru-based think-tank Synergia, Sibal also suggested that the recent killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while he was the Supreme Leader of Iran, seems to have strengthened Iran’s resolve to fight back instead of weakening them.
