Chennai, June 14 -- Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has strongly condemned Israel's recent military strikes on Iran, calling them a "reckless act of aggression" that could further destabilise the region and trigger a "wider war."

In a statement posted on social media, Stalin said, "Israel's strikes on Iran is a reckless act of aggression that risks igniting a wider war. Coupled with the continued bombardment of #Gaza and suffering of Palestinian civilians, this violent path must be condemned."

He urged the international community to take a stronger stand against the escalation of violence. "The world must push for restraint, justice, and meaningful diplomacy," he added.
