Ramdev criticises US, Israel over Iran war; video viral
New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has sharply criticised the United States and Israel over their conflict with Iran, in a video from a television interview that has gone viral on social media.
Speaking on a show aired by ABP News, Ramdev was asked whether India should support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was reported to have been killed on the first day of the war on February 28.
Responding to the question, Ramdev said, “You can kill a person, but you cannot kill his ideas, his philosophy, his mindset, his spirit, or his valour and heroism.”
He went on to express support for Iran, saying he may not know much about the country but believes its people cannot be subdued. Referring to the Shia Muslim community, he said no one could make them “bow down” or defeat them, adding that a significant section of Iran’s population strongly identifies with Khamenei’s ideology.
When asked about Netanyahu, Ramdev criticised both him and US President Donald Trump, saying they are “both cut from the same cloth.” He added, “I am not calling anyone a thief; I am simply citing a proverb it implies that they are both of the same ilk, and I consider them both to be war criminals. I consider them criminals against humanity; I consider them criminals against nature and the environment.”
He further said that the United States and Israel have “erected a Himalaya-sized mountain of political mistrust” and claimed that both countries would have to face the consequences for decades. “In this conflict, neither can America and Israel emerge victorious, nor can Iran be defeated,” he said.
Ramdev’s remarks come at a time when India’s position on the conflict has drawn attention. The government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has maintained what it describes as “strategic autonomy” in foreign policy.

Man, teenage girl found hanging from tree in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari
Dhamtari (Chhattisgarh) (PTI): A man and a 17-year-old girl, suspected to be in a relationship, were found hanging from a tree in a village in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district on Wednesday, police said.
Locals informed the police after spotting Manes Markam (20) and the girl hanging from a tree in a field in Mahuabahara village under the jurisdiction of Sihawa police station in the morning, an official said.
While the girl lived in Mahuabahara, the man hailed from nearby Gendabharri village, he said.
Preliminary investigation suggested the two were in love and allegedly committed suicide, fearing their families would not accept their relationship, he said.
The duo had been missing from their homes since Tuesday evening. The field where their bodies were discovered reportedly belongs to the girl’s father, he said.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem, and further investigation into the matter is underway, he added.
