Mumbai: Sanjay Raut, Uddhav Thackeray's aide gets bail after over 3 months

India is sending a strong global signal amid the rising West Asia conflict. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has backed the government’s stand and rejected Donald Trump proposal to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Calling it an act of war, Tharoor made it clear that India will not enter a direct conflict with Iran. As missile strikes and attacks threaten global oil supply, India faces rising risks to its energy security. Yet, New Delhi is choosing diplomacy, balance, and strategic autonomy. With millions of Indians in the Gulf and critical trade ties at stake, the government is prioritising stability over escalation. This stance is now getting rare political backing across party lines, reinforcing India’s position as a cautious but firm global player in a rapidly intensifying geopolitical crisis.
