The ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict significantly impacts global energy markets, leading to potential shortages and price increases for LPG and LNG, which in turn affects India's energy security and domestic economy. The instability in the Middle East-West Asia region also jeopardizes trade relations and investments for countries like India.
Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has urged the Indian government to take a more proactive stance in mediating the escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. He criticized the government's cautious approach and its failure to offer public condolences for the assassination of Iran's former supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, in a US-Israel strike on February 28. Tharoor highlighted India's significant stakes in the region, including its energy security, LPG and LNG imports, and the safety of 9 million Indian citizens residing in the Gulf. The conflict has already caused domestic issues in India, such as gas cylinder shortages affecting daily life. The India===Indian National Congress has also attacked the Modi government for its 'silence' and 'vapid' foreign policy regarding the situation, advocating for India to be at the forefront of a group of countries calling for an end to the war.
