Israel Throws BIG CURVEBALL At India, Asks To Designate Iran's IRGC As Terror Group
Israel has put India in an extremely difficult geopolitical position. Tel Aviv now wants Delhi to officially declare Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, a terrorist organisation. But there is one major problem. The IRGC currently controls large parts of the Strait of Hormuz — the same energy chokepoint through which nearly 40 percent of India’s energy supplies pass. At a time when Gulf tensions are exploding and global oil markets remain unstable, Iran has already assured safe passage to Indian vessels through Hormuz. That places India in a strategic bind between two close partners: Israel and Iran. This exclusive report yb Aditi Prasad, from Jerusalem, report breaks down why India has refused to designate the IRGC despite growing Western pressure, how Tehran’s Hormuz leverage changes Delhi’s calculations, and why Jaishankar’s doctrine of multi-alignment is now facing one of its biggest real-world tests amid the ongoing Middle East crisis.#india #iran #israel #irgc #hormuz #straitofhormuz #modi #jaishankar #middleeast #oilcrisis #geopolitics #iranisraelwar #israeliranconflict #energycrisis #westasia #indiaforeignpolicy #timesaxis #toi
