India is a space power, one of the greatest space powers, so the sky is not the limit.

Right after the terrible massacre on October 7th, immediately after the murderous attack, you stood so clearly, so morally, so firmly by Israel.

You didn't flinch. You didn't waver. You didn't give excuses.

You stood next to Israel. You stood by Israel. You stood for Israel. You stood for the truth.

Thank you, my friend.

Israel continues to stand at the forefront of civilization against radical Islam.

The mother base of radical Islam is the Middle East.

But the lava that erupts from this zealotry is spreading to every continent and country.

In a world where antisemitism is rising, India stands out as a civilization where Jews were never persecuted by the state — only welcomed.

We don't forget that. Thank you, India.

We are facing radical Islam, which endangers the entire world and the free nations, we will together build an iron, steadfast alliance — an alliance of countries that believe in moderation, progress, and human dignity.

An alliance grounded in mutual respect, between nations that sanctify life.

Together, we are willing to fight against those who worship death and seek to drag us back to the Dark Ages.

In the First World War, when we were still under Ottoman occupation, those who helped us liberate this country included the British Army, in which there were Jewish fighters.

But also brave Iranian soldiers and commanders, who fought like lions in the battle for the liberation of Haifa.

When the forces were pushed back, who stormed forward and gave their lives? Indian commanders.

We never forget that. They gave their lives for us.

We are developing together the IMEC initiative. It is a land and sea corridor that will connect India through the Arab Peninsula to the Haifa port, and from here to the Mediterranean and Europe.

And IMEC, this sea and land corridor, will only thrive and exist if it goes through stable and safe countries. And there are no stronger and safer countries on this axis than Israel and India.

And therefore, I would like to welcome your commitment that Israel will be a connecting link between Asia and Europe through the port of Haifa.

I am sure the day will come when a Bollywood movie is made about the brotherhood between our nations.

I promise you — it will be a huge hit.

I was born on the same day that India formally recognized Israel, on September 17, 1950.

We feel your pain. We share your grief.

India stands with Israel, firmly and with full conviction at this moment and beyond.

There is a great admiration for Israel's resolve, courage and achievements.

Long before we related to each other, as modern states, we were linked by ties that go back more than 2,000 years.

India's connection to this land is also written in blood and sacrifice.

During the First World War, more than 4,000 Indian soldiers laid down their lives in this region.

The cavalry charge at Haifa in September 1918 remains a significant chapter in military history.

For the last few years, India has been the fastest growing major economy in the world.

Soon, we will be among the top three economies globally.

Our partnership is grounded in shared experience and shared aspirations.

Our strong partnership not only serves national interest, but also contributes to global stability and prosperity.

Let us ensure that the friendship between India and Israel remains a source of strength in an uncertain world.

Am Yisrael Chai.

If there is any question, as I said, if there is any concern, we are ready to address.

We can build confidence on our nuclear program, and in return we expect sanctions being terminated.

This is a fair deal, that we build confidence, we make sure that our program is peaceful, and would remain peaceful forever.

Everything began from the Islamic Revolution in Iran. I think Americans failed to understand why it happened. So they started hostility against that.

In the past 47 years, we have been the subject or the victim of their hostility against us. And they have tried everything.

They tried coups several times. They helped Saddam Hussein to impose an eight-year war against us. Last year, another war. All kinds of sanctions. Maximum pressure policy. And they failed.

All of them, they failed. Why? Because they have no real information about Iran and Iranian people. And they are fed with misinformation campaigns, mostly by Israeli lobbyists.

I believe that the only solution is to talk with the Iranian people with the language of respect.

If they try that language, they will see the result, that we would also talk with them with the same language. But if they want to use pressure, language of force, then the result is as we see.

Let's hope that we can change the approaches and come to a better way of dealing with each other.

They have built a huge military presence around us.

If the idea is to threaten us so we capitulate, that is not going to happen.

If you repeat a failed experience, you won't get any better result, especially since we are more prepared than the previous time, as I said before.

There would be no victory for anybody. It would be a devastating war. And since the Americans' bases are scattered in different places in the region, then unfortunately perhaps the whole region would be engaged and would be involved.

So it is a very terrible scenario. I don't even want to talk about that.
