True Friendship Iran Envoy Lauds India Ties And Clarifies Deleted Thank You Posts
Iran Ambassador to India Mohammad Fathali in a recent interview has appreciated India and termed the Indo-Iran relations as a true friendship. This is the situation when India is maintaining a balanced and neutral position amid rising regional tensions. The envoy also clarified why some social media posts thanking India were deleted which had created confusion earlier.
Iran Calls India A True Friend
Iran ambassador said that Iran is grateful for the support and help received from people across India during difficult times. He described India as a true friend that stands together in challenging situations. He also praised India’s balanced and neutral approach in international matters and said such diplomacy helps maintain peace and stability.
The statement highlights the strong historical relationship between India and Iran which is based on trade cultural ties and strategic cooperation. Both countries have worked together on important projects like the Chabahar Port which is important for trade and regional connectivity.
Why Iran Deleted Thank You Posts

The Iran envoy clarified that the deleted social media posts were not removed due to any political pressure. He explained that the posts were removed to replace them with a broader message that thanked not only the Indian government but also Indian citizens and different organizations who supported Iran.
This clarification was important because the deleted posts had created speculation about diplomatic pressure and political messaging. The envoy confirmed that Iran values its friendship with India and wanted to send a more inclusive message.
Strait Of Hormuz And India
The Iran envoy further elaborated on the Strait of Hormuz, which serves as one of the major pathways for oil transportation worldwide, let alone regionally. He mentioned that the strait happens to be part of the maritime territories of both Iran and Oman and that Iran has taken measures to provide safety of passage for friendly countries such as India among others, in spite of the existing tensions in the area.
This statement is important for India because a large portion of India’s oil imports passes through this route. Any disruption in this region can affect global oil prices and energy security.
Conclusion
The statement by the Iran ambassador shows that India and Iran share strong diplomatic and strategic relations. Calling India a true friend shows the importance of the partnership between the two countries especially during difficult times. The clarification about the deleted posts also helped clear confusion and confirmed that relations between India and Iran remain strong and stable.
