Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Tuesday that the future of Iran must be determined solely by its own people, stressing that no international law authorises any external power to bomb a sovereign nation or forcibly change its government.
Speaking to reporters in Jammu, he expressed deep sympathy with the people of Iran and strongly condemned the attack that killed Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei along with members of his family.
He questioned the legality of such actions, asking what international principle could justify the United States or Israel carrying out such an operation.
Abdullah reiterated that only the Iranian people have the right to decide the nature of their government and the direction of their political future.
