Tehran: Conflict has started between Iran and Israel. Iran attacked Israel with 150 cruise missiles and more than 200 drones. The whole world is in tension due to this attack. Because the war between Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas has already adversely affected the global economy. Iran is worried that Israel could retaliate. This is the reason why it has also threatened to attack those countries which will give airspace to Israel to attack Iran. But this war is not limited to the Middle East only. India also has a lot at stake. Let us understand what harm this can cause to India. First of all, this new conflict will destabilize the entire Middle East, which will have a direct impact on India. We are saying this because something similar happened after the attack on 7th October. Houthi rebels attacked ships in the Red Sea after the Israel-Hamas war began. India trades billions of rupees through the Red Sea and instability here is a threat to its trade. Apart from this, if the conflict continues in the Middle East, then the work on India, Middle East, Europe Economic Corridor will be delayed.
Crisis on India’s hopes
India has close economic ties in the Middle East, especially with the UAE and Saudi. India imports essential commodities like oil from here and is expecting billions of dollars of investment from these countries. If Israel and Iran enter into war, India’s hopes will be in danger. Its impact is already visible on India. Because on Saturday Iran captured a ship belonging to Israel. There were 17 Indian crew members on board.
India’s Middle East strategy is in danger due to the start of this war. In recent years, India has formulated a strong Middle East strategy. It has strong economic and defense ties with Israel as well as Muslim countries. India also has strong relations with Iran. Stability in the Middle East provided an opportunity to work on partnerships such as I2U2 (Israel, India, UAE and US). But after the Israel-Hamas war, India is facing difficulties in maintaining balance, because New Delhi does not want to be a part of any one side. This will put India’s Middle East policy in danger.
Israel wanted Iran’s attack! Netanyahu had a big plan, know
Indians are also in big danger
Along with India’s interests, the lives of Indians will also be at stake due to the conflict in the Middle East. Millions of Indians live in UAE and Saudi Arabia. War in the Middle East means danger to the lives of all of them. India would not want any such conflict to happen here. This is why India is asking all parties to remain calm. India has issued a travel advisory asking to avoid traveling to Iran and Israel. Apart from this, India said on Sunday after the attack that it is concerned about the increasing conflict between Israel and Iran and also called for restraint. However, what impact this tension will have on India depends on how far Iran and Israel take this conflict?
