Three prominent religious figures from Kashmir – chief cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Shia scholars Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al Safavi and Imran Reza Ansari – took part in an exhibition staged by the Iranian embassy in New Delhi. The event was intended to honour children killed in Iran’s Minab region during an attack attributed to the United States and Israel, and the leaders were invited by Iran’s ambassador to India, Dr Mohammad Fathali.
The exhibition took place on Friday, September 11, 2026, in the Indian capital. It was organized under the auspices of the Iranian diplomatic mission and coincided with a planned interaction between the Kashmiri clerics and Iranian President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian, who was visiting Delhi for the BRICS summit. The ambassador’s office announced that the meeting would be followed by a dinner reception for the participating dignitaries.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq serves as the chief cleric of the Kashmir Valley, while Al Safavi and Ansari are influential Shia leaders. Their attendance underscores the cultural and religious outreach Iran maintains with Kashmiri communities, especially in the wake of the Minab tragedy. The event also reflects broader diplomatic engagement between India and Iran, set against the backdrop of regional security concerns and the ongoing BRICS dialogue.
