Israel-Iran conflict highlights: Trump says U.S. will hold talks with Iran ‘next week’
BJP spokesperson calls West Asia crisis Muslim world’s ‘internal fight for supremacy’
The crisis in West Asia, including the Israel-Iran conflict, is the fallout of the Muslim world’s “internal fight for supremacy”, the BJP said on Wednesday, expressing hope that the issue would soon be resolved peacefully.
“The West Asia crisis is nothing but a fight between Muslim countries for supremacy over one another. One pole of this fight is Saudi Arabia, the leader of the Sunni world, and the other pole is Iran, the leader of the Shia world,” BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told reporters here.
Referring to the Israel-Hamas war, he said Iran thought that the entire Muslim world would side with it if it raised an “emotive issue” against Israel, but that did not happen.
“That is why today you are seeing that the Sunni world remained largely silent during the attack on Iran. Not only this, on the one hand Iran was being attacked and on the other hand Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir was suggesting that US President Donald Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize,” he said.
