"Iran-Israel talks going to dominate G7 summit in Canada": KP Fabian
New Delhi [India], June 15 (ANI): The upcoming G7 Summit in Canada is expected to prioritise discussions on the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, according to Foreign Affairs expert KP Fabian.
Speaking to ANI, Fabian stated that the G7, well, earlier, the war in Ukraine was going to dominate the talks. Now, it is reasonably clear that the Iran-Israel Tension and hostilities are going to dominate the G7.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear that there will be no joint communique, only action-oriented statements. Fabian noted that this decision is likely an effort to avoid irritating US President Donald Trump, who previously walked out of a G7 Summit in Canada after disagreeing with the joint communique. 'The host government... wants to make sure that nothing irritates Trump,' Fabian said.
'So Prime Minister Carney is playing it very carefully, very cautiously,' he added.
Fabian also highlighted Iran's scepticism towards nuclear talks with the US following Israel's recent strikes on Iran.
Simplifying the scenario, he affirmed that Iran believes that Israel's actions were only possible with the approval of the United States, rendering further negotiations with America pointless.
'Iran honestly believes, and Iran is not wrong, that. Israel struck only with the approval of President Donald Trump. So if that is the case, what's the point in talking to America? If America is permitting Israel to strike. Then there's no point in talking. Iran is right,' he said.
'Now, this doesn't mean there will be no more talks because Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump have spoken to each other, and it is possible, I say, after a few days,' he added.
Trump on Saturday (local time) revealed that he received a call from Russian President Putin on his 79th birthday and talked about the war between Israel and Iran, which both leaders agreed 'should end.'
The conversation occurred before Trump is set to mark his 79th birthday in the evening by attending a military parade on the streets of Washington, DC, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, 'President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well.'
The phone call, which lasted around an hour, primarily focused on the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. (ANI)

Israel-Iran tension: Kashmiri students in Iran feel ‘traumatised', parents seek PM's intervention
Scores of parents with wards studying in Iran on Sunday (June 15, 2025) urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar to initiate measures to evacuate 'traumatised and panicked' students following aerial raids by Israel in major cities of Iran in the past three days. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he was in touch with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and mulling evacuation. Also read: Israel-Iran conflict updates on June 15, 2025 One estimate suggests that around 1,300 students are stranded in Iran. 'Following the aerial attack, the students are feeling panicked and traumatised. We should not wait for any casualty to take place,' a Kashmiri parent said. 'Hundreds of students are stranded in Iran in the midst of a war. They have not slept for days now. Three days have passed. We request the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister to arrange the evacuation of these students like in Operation Ganga. As they were sent to Ukraine, flights should be sent to Iran to evacuate the students,' Maqsoodi Uri, a parent, said. Several parents claimed the stranded students were making distress calls to their families in the Kashmir Valley and seeking the Indian Embassy's help in Iran 'to move them to safe shelters'. Nasir Khuehami, national convenor of the J&K Students Association, on Sunday (June 15, 2025) evening claimed that 'an Israeli strike hit the Hujat Dost Ali Hostel in Tehran, which houses many Kashmiri students'. 'Some students sustained minor injuries. We have spoken to several of them, and while the injuries are not serious, the situation remains deeply concerning. The situation has left these students traumatised and terrified,' Mr. Khuehami said. While the Union Government has not immediately confirmed any such incident, the news of it has added to the anxiety of the parents. J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he was in touch with the MEA regarding the evolving situation in Iran, particularly with regard to Kashmiri students in Tehran, Shiraz, Qom, and other Iranian cities. Mr. Abdullah said he had also spoken to External Affairs Ministers (EAM) S. Jaishankar. 'The Honourable Minister assured me that the MEA is in close contact with their counterparts in Iran and will take all necessary steps to safeguard all Indian students in Iran,'' Mr. Abdullah said. 'A decision to evacuate, if necessary, will be taken based on the ground situation keeping the safety and security of these students as the primary consideration. We will keep everyone informed as the situation develops,' he said. 'As a parent, I assure all the concerned parents of my government's close and continuous attention to this important developing situation,' Mr. Abdullah said. NC MP Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi also posted on social media on the issue. 'An Israeli strike hit Hujat Dost Ali hostel in Tehran, housing many Kashmiri students. Some sustained minor injuries. I've written to EAM urging their relocation within Iran or evacuation once the airspace opens,' Mr. Mehdi said.
