The escalating conflict in West Asia, triggered by the offensive against Iran and subsequent retaliatory attacks, has heightened supply risks for oil, leading to climbing oil prices. Disruption to flight services and increased war risk insurance costs are also impacting the aviation and shipping industries, creating uncertainty for global trade and financial markets.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India engaged in diplomatic conversations with leaders from Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar, expressing concern over attacks on their countries amidst the ongoing West Asia conflict. He also discussed the welfare and security of the large Indian community residing in the region. These calls followed a coordinated offensive by the United States and Israel against Iran, which resulted in the death of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel, US military installations, and major business and aviation hubs like Dubai and Doha. Modi also spoke with leaders from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel, condemning attacks and emphasizing the need for dialogue and stability. The situation has led to disruptions in airspace and concerns for the safety of Indian expatriates.
