Wars are tragic, yet they remain a reality. Any language or action that contemplates the end of civilisation is unacceptable in the modern world – Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition, Lok Sabha
His remarks came after Trump threatened that a whole civilisation will die on Tuesday night if Iran fails to meet his latest deadline to strike a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while the Islamic republic urged young people to form human chains around power plants and other potential targets.

Wars are tragic, yet they remain a reality.
Any language or action that contemplates the end of civilisation is unacceptable in the modern world.
The use of nuclear weapons can never be justified – under any circumstances.
