Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the peace understanding between the United States and Iran
June 15, 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday welcomed the peace understanding reached between the United States and Iran, describing it as a positive step towards ending months of tensions in West Asia. In a post on social media, he said the conflict had caused economic disruption across the world and resulted in the loss of lives in several countries.
Modi expressed hope that the implementation of the agreement would help restore peace and stability in the region while ensuring uninterrupted maritime trade and navigation. He also said India looks forward to further discussions on unresolved issues leading to a sustainable and long-term settlement. His remarks came after US President Donald Trump announced that Washington and Tehran had reached an understanding aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi later confirmed the agreement and stated that Tehran would proceed with the proposed negotiation process after verifying key commitments from the United States. The agreement is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland later this week. Global leaders, including senior European Union officials, have also welcomed the breakthrough, viewing it as an important step toward regional stability and easing pressure on global energy markets.
