New Delhi: As the conflict between Iran and Israel continues to escalate, global diplomatic efforts are intensifying. In a significant development, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump held a 35-minute phone conversation today — their first since India launched Operation Sindoor earlier this month.
During the call, Prime Minister Modi firmly conveyed that terrorism will be treated as an act of war, and that India will maintain a zero-tolerance stance against terrorism under all circumstances. Modi also made it clear that while India values strong ties with the US, the country will not compromise on national security — even if it means foregoing trade deals.
“Pakistan’s Bullets Will Be Answered with Shells”
According to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Prime Minister Modi informed President Trump that India is determined to respond decisively to acts of terror, particularly those linked to Pakistan-based terrorist groups. “Pakistan’s bullets will be answered with shells,” Modi was quoted as saying, reaffirming that Operation Sindoor — India’s counter-terror campaign launched after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack — remains in full force.
The Indian Air Force’s recent air strike across the border caused significant damage to terrorist infrastructure, marking a major phase in the ongoing campaign. Modi assured Trump that India would sustain its anti-terror efforts with full force, without letting trade negotiations interfere with matters of national security.
Trump Seeks Credit for India-Pakistan Ceasefire
In the conversation, President Donald Trump reportedly emphasized the role of US diplomacy in brokering the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Trump has publicly claimed that the ceasefire agreement — which followed several days of cross-border tensions — was made possible due to Washington’s behind-the-scenes mediation. The US President is said to be presenting this development as evidence of American commitment to global peace.
Invitation Extended to PM Modi
During the call, Trump also extended a formal invitation to Prime Minister Modi to visit the United States. While Modi was scheduled to meet Trump during the G7 Summit on June 17, Trump’s unexpected departure from the summit disrupted those plans. The two leaders used this phone call to reaffirm their intent to meet soon and strengthen bilateral cooperation.
Geopolitical Context
The Modi-Trump call takes place against the backdrop of heightened global tensions, with the Iran-Israel conflict drawing the attention of major world powers. India’s strong message on counterterrorism underscores its evolving role in shaping international security policy, while also highlighting the resilience of Indo-US relations amidst the shifting global landscape.
