India Hits Back at Iranian Supreme Leader's Remarks on Muslims | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India and Iran have a long and complex relationship. While they share deep cultural ties and a history of cooperation, recent events have strained their friendship. The latest tension arose from comments by Iran's Supreme Leader, who accused India of mistreating its Muslim population. This accusation has been met with strong criticism from India's Foreign Ministry, who pointed to Tehran's own human rights record with regards to Sunni Muslims. This is not the first time Tehran's leadership has targeted New Delhi. In the past, the Supreme Leader has criticised India's actions in Kashmir and the cancellation of Kashmir's special status.

Several external factors have been affecting the India-Iran ties. In the past, US sanctions forced India to stop buying Iranian oil, pushing Tehran towards China. Moreover, New Delhi's support for Israel during the recent Gaza conflict likely did not sit well with Tehran. What does the future of India-Iran ties look like? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.

Iran forgets that it's true religion is Zorastarism (which is akin to sanathan Dharma) and were forcefully converted to islam and if you didn't convert you were killed or fled to India for safety and be able to practice Zorastarism in peace. Aytollah Homeni send Iran back to the medieval times

[PakPhorenMinistr]

Ironically, Ayatollah used American social media platform to post this😂

[PakPhorenMinistr]

It's high time Iran provide refuge to all 250 million arabic named people from India! 😂

[fereydounify]

I had expected this. Whenever, India and Iran opt for closer ties, Beijing and Islamabad enter the scene.

[nsant]

[Insvikrant-qz]

Muslim of India lives better than Muslim in Iran. But if they wish we can send them one way ticket

[sanjaydesai]

Not one Muslim has left india to Bangladesh Aur Pakistan except crminal ones like dawood. 😂

The response back was well said specially the last part. How do they treat their minorities, the woman, the LGBT, and other religious groups in their countries? They have no place to denounce others, it is ridiculous.

[roxyvo]

Hypocrites just using religion card to play politics…

[erwind]

But Iran doesn't have the guts to condemn CHINA on Uighurs.

[Trueleader-qqyf]

We all know what happen to Zoroastrians amid Islamization of Iran.

[adesaehii]

I'm a free thinker, I thank God I'm not a Muslim nor a Christian, I'm a religious free person

[Hypocritial]

Today Netanyahu paid back the Ayatollah to celebrate his dear friend Modiji's birthday 😂😂😂. Operation Pocket Billiards

[JuniorExplorers-oibe]

Take all our Muslim people to your country we will give some money also per person

[elizabethsjoseph]

Maybe next time India needs to respond more explicitly instead of being vague

[venkatkumar]

Are Muslim women safe in Iran? Can he answer to this question?

[ZeeshanRauf-ob]

He said good. Love him from Sunni Muslim of Pakistan from Rawalpindi Pakistan ❤Great Man❤

[dvmjak]

Such high levels of ignorance at that level is ridiculous! 😂

[sanjaysanj]

Leave aside minority Iran should take care of their Majority first before teaching others 🤓😜

[sydneykulelwa]

No wonder Israel is right with ever they are doing
