Mohan Bhagwat: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat has remarked that India under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a responsibility to end the Middle East crisis by promoting peace, brotherhood and a humanitarian approach.
Addressing a gathering during Vishva Handu Parishad’s new office Bhoomipujan, Bhagwat remarked peace could not be established via any form of agreement unless individuals start thinking beyond self. The RSS Chief said this has been the norm for more than 2000 years and it would stay that way in the times to come.
Mohan Bhagwat-India Must Step Up
Mohan Bhagwat remarked that several countries of the world have been asking India to step up and bring an end to the ongoing US Israel Iran war.

India and Israel: Trusted Strategic Partners
The relationship of India with Israel and Narendra Modi with Benjamin Netanyahu has only grown with every passing day. From intelligence sharing to defence technology, the two countries share mutual respect and security concerns.
India has always supported Israel’s right to security while also advocating dialogue and restraint at the same time. If Iran hostilities need to be brought down, Israel could possibly frame its decision as a response to the diplomatic initiatives by India.
India and Iran
Rooted in centuries of cultural exchange, India and Iran share a relationship that has endured for centuries despite global geopolitical tensions. India maintained communication even when western sanctions complicated engagement with Tehran.
Iran views India as a respectful and independent partner and not an adversary or ideological rival. Diplomatic initiatives by India could be framed by the Islamic Republic of Iran as cooperation with a trusted partner rather than capitulation to Western pressure.
India And The United States
Over the past two decades, India and the United States have developed a positive and powerful strategic partnership, especially in technology, Indo-Pacific security and defence. Yet, India has managed to carefully preserve its strategic autonomy. There is no denying the fact that prolonged conflict in the Middle East would prove costly for the United States – politically, economically and militarily.
If de-escalation is framed as part of a broader diplomatic initiative led or facilitated by India, the United States could recalibrate its role without appearing to retreat under pressure.
These narratives would allow all sides to step back simultaneously, without humiliation or loss of prestige.
