Modi Vows Anti-Terror Stance as US-Iran Nuclear Memorandum Surfaces
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the anniversary of Operation Sindoor by reaffirming India's military resolve against terrorism following the 2024 Pahalgam attack. Separately, the United States presented Iran with a one-page memorandum of understanding proposing a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the American blockade on Iranian ports.
