Tensions in the Middle East have affected air travel after the United States and Israel launched a preemptive attack on Iran. Following the strikes, Dubai airport was shut down, leaving many passengers stranded as the situation grew tense.
In an interview with ANI, Ilahi said, "Actually, our Supreme Leader wasn't just an ordinary leader. He was our father. He was our spiritual leader. He was our Marja in our religion. Marja means authentic, which we rely on him.
Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of United States Central Command in briefing said that the US will not stop and that Iran's ability to hit back was declining rapidly.
Ilahi, in a conversation with ANI, said that Iran had said several times that they were not trying to procure nuclear weapons, as it is not permitted as per their religious scriptures.
Israel struck a building in the Iranian city of Qom where senior clerics had gathered to appoint a successor to supreme leader Ayataollah Ali Khameini, an Israeli security official said.
In a post shared on X, Jaishankar wrote, "Had a telecon with EU HRVP @kajakallas. Our discussions focused on the ongoing conflict in Iran and the Gulf."
Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of United States Central Command, said that with the intensity of the US attack, Iran's ability to hit back was diminishing.
According to an official statement, the airline will operate special flights on the Dhaka-Dubai-Dhaka route to facilitate the safe return of affected passengers.
