Neighbourhood diplomacy and its West Asia challenge- Gulf War 3.0 challenges South Asia and India's ties with neighbours in economic and strategic ways-New Delhi needs an "all of region" response, I argue in this op-ed @the_hindu thehindu.com/opinion/lead/n…

Qatar state-owned LNG giant QatarEnergy has published a statement detailing the overnight damage, providing more granularity (particularly around the damage of the GTL plant).

Breaking from @halbritz @OrenCNN : A US F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at US air base in the Middle East after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for US Central Command, said the fifth-generation stealth jet was “flying a combat mission over Iran” when it was forced to make an emergency landing. Hawkins said the aircraft landed safely, and the incident is under investigation “The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition,” Hawkins added. The incident would be the first time Iran has hit a US aircraft in the war started in late February. Both the US and Israel are flying F-35s in the conflict; the aircraft costs upwards of $100 million.

Spoke with my friend India's Minister of External Affairs @DrSJaishankar and briefed him on developments in our operation against the Iranian terror regime. I said that the regime is carrying out naval terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz. This is not an American or Israeli issue, it's a fundamental problem affecting world order and the global economy. If this grave phenomenon is not addressed now, it could spread worldwide. I also addressed the Iranian regime’s aggression toward other countries in the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Europe. I emphasized that the Iranian regime is acting madly. We value our special strategic partnership with India, the world's largest democracy. 🇮🇱🇮🇳

PRESIDENT TRUMP: When this excursion in Iran is completed, we’ll have a much safer world. Iran is a serious threat to the Middle East and to the world. Everybody agrees with me.

Qatar’s Prime Minister: This war needs to stop immediately. The aggression needs to stop immediately. Because everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is, and dragging the whole region into this conflict is.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: It should be especially noted that the primary responsible party for this war, which has drawn our region into an unprecedented crisis, is Israel.

Stumbled into a document from 1979 mentioning @DrSJaishankar, then a young Third Secretary posted in #Moscow, likely his first posting (?) The note by former diplomat Arvind Deo, then JS @MEAIndia praises Dr. Jaishankar’s astute assessment of Soviet leadership. #MEA #Diplomacy

Oman’s constructive neutrality compels us to speak our mind to all in pursuit of peace. This article in the Economist seeks to contribute to a serious conversation about solutions.

Japanese Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae: "I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world. To do so, I am ready to reach out to many of the partners in the international community to achieve our objective together." 🇺🇸🇯🇵

Spoke with my brother, H.H. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of Qatar, and conveyed warm Eid greetings to him and the people of Qatar. Reiterated that we stand in solidarity with Qatar and strongly condemn the attacks on the region’s energy infrastructure. Expressed gratitude for the care and support provided to the Indian community and hoped for peace and stability to prevail in the region. We stand for safe and free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. @TamimBinHamad

"I shared Malaysia's firm stance in condemning the bombing and massacre by Israel against Iran, backed by the United States," Malaysian PM Anwar said he told PM Modi, called for both countries to strengthen collective voice at UN and BRICS (Malaysia is BRICS partner country)

Trump: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

Trump is clearly fed up of Israeli overreach in this war. He publicly distanced himself from Israel's partial bombing Iran's gas fields. Now his officials say sanctions will be lifted on Iran oil too to cool prices. This is an olive branch to resolve Hormuz. Solution in sight?

Thank you, my dear friend. India and France are working closely together to reduce tensions in the region and to keep diplomacy at the heart of our efforts for peace.

Bessent: "We unsanctioned Russian oil ... in the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water"

China is shocked that the Israeli military is said to have been “authorized to kill any Iranian official.” China is firmly against the use of force in international relations. The killing of Iranian leaders and attacks on civilian targets are by no means acceptable.

Pleased to meet UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem Al Hashimy this afternoon. Thanked the UAE Government for taking care of the Indian community. Discussed the latest developments pertaining to the conflict in West Asia.

Our response to Israel's attack on our infrastructure employed FRACTION of our power. The ONLY reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation. ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again. Any end to this war must address damage to our civilian sites.
