Can India get trapped in Iran-Israel war? Shashi Tharoor’s warning if there is a war, there will be huge loss

News India Live, Digital Desk: The increasing tension in West Asia (Middle East) is no longer just a war between two countries, but its shadow has started looming over the entire world. Senior Congress leader and former diplomat Shashi Tharoor has issued a big warning. Tharoor believes that if a full-scale war breaks out between Iran and Israel, India will not be left untouched by its ill effects. This loss will not only be diplomatic, but also economic and strategic. There will be a direct hit on India’s economy. Shashi Tharoor has warned that India’s energy security completely depends on West Asia. If there is instability in this region, then the prices of Crude Oil may increase wildly. Danger of Inflation: Due to increase in the prices of petrol and diesel, freight transportation in India will become expensive, which will have a direct impact on the pocket of the common man. Supply Chain: Trade through the Red Sea may come to a halt, due to which there may be a huge decline in export-import. The safety of millions of Indians is at stake. A large population of India is in the Gulf countries. Lives and works. Shashi Tharoor pointed out that if Iran gets directly involved in the war, it would pose a major threat to the security and livelihood of millions of Indian expatriates present there. Evacuating them from there could prove to be a huge challenge (Logistical Nightmare) for the government. The litmus test of diplomatic balance. India’s relations with both Israel and Iran are very important. While Israel is India’s defense partner, Iran is strategically important for Chabahar port and access to Central Asia. According to Tharoor, it may be difficult for India to remain ‘neutral’ in this war, because global pressure and national interests may collide with each other. Tharoor’s suggestion: Need to be cautious Shashi Tharoor made it clear that India should keep a very close eye on this situation. He said that “the damage could be quite significant”, so India should strengthen its strategic preparedness now. The world is now in an era where the fire of one area does not take long to scorch another area.
