Owaisi's remarks came after Iranian state media confirmed that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the US-Israeli strike on Iran.

AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday condemned the US-Israeli attack on Iran, calling the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “inhuman, unlawful, immoral and a serious violation of international law."

Owaisi emphasised that the war must end immediately and urged the Government of India to play a constructive role in de-escalation and peace efforts. He expressed hope that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government will clearly condemn such unlawful acts of violence and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“Trump-Israel’s attacks on Iran are absolutely condemnable. This, especially when Iran-US talks were going on in Geneva. More than 200 people have been killed across Iran, including 108 who were killed when strikes hit a girls’ school. Ayatollah Khamenei’s assassination is an immoral and unlawful act," he said on X.

“These attacks on Iran should stop at the earliest, otherwise the whole region will be embroiled in instability. We must remember that 10 million Indians work in this region. Israel’s attack on Iran and Pakistan’s on Afghanistan shows us that Israel and Pakistan are forces of aggression & mischief in their respective neighbourhoods," he added.

“On behalf of my party, I offer condolences to the Shia community who considered him as their leader, and we call for an end to this war. We hope that the BJP government condemns the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and calls for an end to this war," he later told reporters.
