It appears that India has successfully protected its interests in the Arabian sea. Iran has declared that the Strait of Hormuz, from where 20% of world's total oil flows will remain open for India and China.

It has declared that it is only closed for US allies and Israel.

Don't you see a pattern. The news was of around yesterday and today suddenly India has officially condemned the Death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayotollah Khamenei. It appears India negotiated about diplomatic support to Iran in exchange for the right to pass through strait of Hormuz and in return has also condemned the death of Khamenei.

I think now Indian ships have minimal danger as collateral damage is impossible to avoid, but US-Israel will not attack Indian cargo ships, same cannot be said about Chinese cargos, as they maybe safe from Iran's side but US-Israel remain a constant threat for them. India on the other hand, as it has appeared by recent development, seems to be safe from both the sides. We need to praise GOI and External Ministry of Affairs for this, yeah not too much, because things can still go wrong. We must not let our guard down.

What do you think? Let me know. To all Indians and people who enjoy our content, it is a humble request please join "BharatDefense".

India just baited an Iranian cruiser into assasination by the US and then ignored the distress call. Actual dogwater BRICS ally. Just a US infiltration.

I was persuaded by Brian Baleric's latest video on this topic. Basically, he says that the United States knows where every warship in the world is at all times, and China also likely has this capability.

We do all know that the Indians and the Turks like to play both sides, this conflict might be the very thing that forces them to abandon that ambiguity.

Also not going to argue that Modi doesn't love killing Muslims, but I personally think national interest will win out in the end

India also ignored the boats distress call.

Oh yes absolutely, that's part of what I was alluding to with killing Muslims. Also LITERALLY WORSE THAN THE NAZIS so there's that
