NEW DELHI: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday hailed Iranians after US President Donald Trump agreed to a 14-day ceasefire with Iran, saying that hatred, anger, violence and injustice never win, and courage always wins.
Taking to social media platform X, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "Iranian men and women formed human chains around their country’s resources while western powers spoke in a despicable language, heralding the “end of a civilization”. The world is watching and understanding as the veil of morality falls from across the face of the west. Hatred, anger, violence and injustice never win. Courage always wins."
Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump announced that he has agreed to suspend planned military strikes on Iran for two weeks, linking the pause to Tehran’s agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing negotiations toward a broader peace deal.
In a statement, Trump had said the decision came “based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, ” who had urged restraint as tensions escalated.
