Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on Tuesday with the leaders of Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar, expressing concern over violations of their sovereignty and territorial integrity amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Modi held separate calls with Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Sabah, according to statements posted on social media platform X.
The discussions focused on developments following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran over the weekend that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and hundreds of others, including civilians.
Modi condemned the violations of the Gulf countries’ sovereignty and emphasized the importance of respecting territorial integrity.
He and the Kuwaiti leader highlighted the need for dialogue and sustained diplomatic engagement to restore regional peace and stability.
Earlier, Modi conducted similar calls with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to discuss the evolving crisis.
The weekend strikes also targeted Iranian military and government officials, prompting Tehran to launch drone and missile attacks on U.S.-linked sites in Gulf countries.
These retaliatory strikes caused multiple fatalities, including six U.S. service members, and left many others injured, further escalating tensions in the region.
