Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday expressed hope that the war between Israel and Iran would end soon and a solution would be reached through dialogue.
Speaking to media persons in Ganderbal, Omar warned that a major conflict could erupt if tensions between Israel and Iran escalate further.
“We can only hope and pray that such a war does not happen, as the situation is already very grave,” he said.
“I don’t understand on what basis Israel attacked Iran,” Omar added. “Just a few days ago, the head of US intelligence stated that Iran is no closer to acquiring a nuclear weapon.”
“If America said this only a few weeks ago, then why did Israel attack Iran? Clearly, some political motives are at play,” he said. “Nevertheless, we hope the war ends soon and a solution is reached through dialogue.”
