Kerala CM blasts US 'hooliganism' against Iran, slams 'rogue state' Israel

Key Highlights

• The left veteran also termed the US action against Iran as an example of its "hooliganism". He said just as individuals are expected to show basic courtesy and respect toward one another, countries, too, are expected to conduct themselves with a sense of mutual respect. Stating that no nation can reasonably demand that others adopt identical views or policies, he said, yet certain states, backed by American imperial power--with its vast flow of arms, financial backing and a persistent appetite for war--appear to expect this from the rest of the world. He sought to know what the situation was that warranted an attack against Iran."The stand being taken is that nations it (the US) opposes will not be tolerated.
• They killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom that country regards as its sovereign leader, at his home along with his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter," he said."It is a mad act of American imperialism.
• Joining them in all this is Israel, another global rogue state," the CM said and urged everyone to express strong protest against such actions. Vijayan also said he wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his immediate intervention to ensure the safety of Indians in the Middle East in view of the ongoing conflicts there.- EndsPublished By: Anuja JhaPublished On: Mar 1, 2026 20:23 ISTTune InMust Watch Watch Live TV.
