Dr Farooq, Mehbooba, MP Ruhullah denounce World’s silence on Israel’s attack on Iran

Srinagar : Top Kashmiri politicians, including, two former CMs, and a Member Parliament on Friday strongly criticized the “silence” of global powers over Israel’s attack on Iran, calling it a dangerous display of “double standards” Israel on Friday launched a major attack on Iran, including nuclear sites, and killing several top figures. The attack triggered condemnation from several Kashmiri politicians.
National Conference President and former Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah strongly condemned the Israeli attack on Iran, calling it condemnable and reprehensible. “This attack undermines Iran’s sovereignty and security and is a blatant violation of international laws and principles,” Abdullah said. The veteran leader said that Israel is breaking all records of “oppression and brutality” in Palestine. He also criticized the United Nations, stating that it has become a silent spectator of Israeli aggression and barbarism, and for the past one year and eight months, it has only issued statements regarding the continued bombings.
Former CM and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said that Israel’s attack on Iran is yet another “brazen act by a state that appears to have gone rogue”. “The silence of the global community particularly Western powers led by the United States is both alarming and telling. This silence amounts to tacit approval,” Mehbooba said in a post on X. “ In the case of India-Pakistan tensions, the U.S. never fails to assert that its intervention has been crucial in preventing escalation. Yet when it comes to Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza or its latest strike on Iran, that same urgency is conspicuously missing,” she said. “These glaring double standards endanger global peace and stability. Equally disturbing is the deafening silence of the so-called Muslim countries, who remain shamelessly non-existent in the face of such grave injustice. Their inaction is not just disappointing, it’s a betrayal of the very causes they claim to stand for,” Mehbooba said.
NC leader and MP Srinagar Ruhullah Mehdi said that Israel has now bombed Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, and still plays the victim. “This rogue Zionist regime isn’t defending itself; it’s behaving like a colonial thug. Attacking sovereign nations at will doesn’t make you powerful, it makes you a terrorist state,” he said in a post on X. “Iran, like any sovereign nation, now has every right to defend itself and take full, punishing revenge. The Zionist regime should pay for its crimes in Gaza, for its bloodlust, for its massacres,” MP added.
