'Severe Setback To PM's Foreign Policy: Congress Slams Centre Over US-Iran 'Islamabad MoU'

Summary

The Congress has criticized the government after the United States and Iran signed a peace deal, known as the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which the party says is a severe setback to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy. This deal shows Pakistan's newfound regional standing and global influence, according to Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, and has significant implications for India. The agreement, which has been officially released, includes a fourteen-point plan and has been welcomed cautiously by some countries, but its success is still uncertain.
