US-Iran mediation: India's Jaishankar makes spiteful remarks about Pakistan

New Delhi / Islamabad (Web Desk): Indian Foreign Minister S. J. Shankar faced widespread criticism after using highly unprofessional and inflammatory language during an all-parties meeting, raising concerns about India’s growing diplomatic isolation.

Analysts say his remarks reflect frustration over India’s exclusion from crucial international negotiations surrounding the ongoing US-Israel-Iran crisis.

According to sources, New Delhi was completely sidelined in this critical regional mediation, while Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt stepped in as reliable diplomatic intermediaries.

This development has undermined India’s claims of regional influence and exposed weaknesses in its foreign policy strategy.

Diplomatic experts note that Shankar’s use of offensive language against Pakistan and the mediating nations appeared to be an attempt to divert attention from India’s own foreign policy failures.

Analysts argue that such rhetoric damages India’s credibility on the global stage and highlights the Modi government’s increasingly performative approach to foreign affairs.

The minister’s behavior has been described as “crude, disrespectful, and inappropriate” for someone holding such a high office.

Experts warn that relying on aggressive rhetoric rather than genuine diplomatic engagement risks further isolating India in key regional and international forums.

Political analysts say Shankar’s outburst signals a troubling trend: India’s foreign policy, once seen as assertive, is now largely symbolic, with loud statements replacing real influence.

The recent incident underscores that India has lost leverage in shaping critical regional issues, leaving it increasingly marginalized in international diplomacy.
