In an exclusive conversation with India Today TV's Gaurav Sawant, Israeli Ambassador to India Reuven Azar defended the US decision to delay a direct strike on Iran, calling it part of a broader strategy to eliminate Tehran's nuclear threat while minimizing military escalation. Azar said Israel and the US remain closely aligned despite reports of differences between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He claimed Iran's military capabilities and regional influence have been significantly weakened since the conflict began. The ambassador also stressed that Israel will continue acting against threats from Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups.
