Rajeev Sharma :- The Central Government has written to all states regarding developments related to Iran, warning of the possibility of violence during potential protests and urging state administrations to maintain a high level of vigilance. In a letter circulated on February 28, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs cautioned that tensions arising from the Israel–US strikes on Iran could trigger law and order challenges in parts of India.
The Ministry specifically asked states to identify “radical pro-Iran propagandists” allegedly delivering inflammatory speeches and to closely monitor any activities that could disturb public peace. Reports indicate that the advisory highlights concerns over demonstrations taking place in several locations following the escalation of conflict in West Asia and stresses the need to ensure strict law and order during such protests. The warning comes after the United States and Israel reportedly carried out one of the deadliest strikes on Iran to date. The United States has claimed that more than 40 Iranian leaders and commanders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in the attacks. US President Donald Trump, in a video message, issued a fresh warning to Iran, stating that military operations would continue until all American objectives are achieved.
