Tensions in West Asia have escalated after Iran alleged that a US airstrike hit an India-bound aircraft at Mashhad International Airport. The aircraft, operated by Mahan Air, was reportedly preparing to carry humanitarian aid to New Delhi. Tehran has termed the strike a violation of international law, raising the issue of civilian aviation safety in war zones. For India, the development is critical. It affects ongoing humanitarian cooperation with Iran and puts a spotlight on the risks faced by non-military operations. The absence of an official US response has added to uncertainty, as claims and counterclaims dominate the narrative. The incident also highlights the complexities surrounding Mahan Air, which remains under US sanctions. As the story unfolds, one question stands out—can humanitarian missions remain protected in modern conflict zones, or are they now vulnerable to geopolitical crossfire?
