’Hope That Our Govt Will...’ Asaduddin Owaisi Condemns U.S. Airstrikes on Iran, Calls for International Law Compliance

On June 22, 2025, in Hyderabad, the president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) and a member of parliament from Hyderabad, Asaduddin Owaisi, is very worried about the recent airstrikes by the US on Iran's nuclear sites, which he says are against international law.

Owaisi wrote in a strong post on X (formerly Twitter), "I hope that our government will condemn this unilateral bombing by the U.S., which is against international law."

"Dangerous Escalation":  Owaisi warns of damage to the region

According to reports, the bombs were aimed at Iranian nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. Owaisi called them a "dangerous escalation."  He said that targeting infrastructure that is used by civilians, even under the guise of non-proliferation, could make the whole Middle East less stable.

"Bombing knowledge, like bombing nuclear infrastructure, destroys regional stability, puts civilians in danger, and goes against global norms," he said.

Not the same as India's anti-terrorist strikes

Owaisi has supported India's "Operation Sindoor" and "surgical strikes" against terror bases in Pakistan in the past, but he said that those acts were different from the U.S. attack on Iran.

"Alone bombings abroad are not the same as strikes on terror camps after due process."  "One follows the law and the other breaks it," Owaisi said.

He said again that India's measures against terrorism were supported by the parliament and the people, unlike Washington's sudden air offensive.

Asks India to Speak Out

Owaisi told the Indian government that they should stand up for what's right and reject the strikes.  He made it clear that staying neutral in these situations could hurt India's reputation and diplomatic standing around the world.

"People will think that our silence means we agree with them."  He made it clear that India must follow world law.

Supporters of peace, not war

At the end of his speech, Owaisi called for a return to talks and told both the U.S. and Iran to stop making things worse and start talking about peace again.

"Talk and peace, not bombs, are the real weapons of strength," he wrote.
