The escalating conflict in West Asia, triggered by military strikes between the United States, Israel, and Iran, has significantly increased geopolitical risk, leading to potential disruptions in oil supplies and global trade routes. This instability could negatively impact energy markets and logistics, while also raising concerns for the safety of international workers in the region.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the escalating conflict in West Asia, emphasizing the need for dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace and stability. The conflict began after the United States and Israel launched military strikes on Iran on February 28, resulting in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran carried out a wave of attacks targeting Israeli and American military bases in several Gulf countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Narendra Modi has also engaged with eight other West Asian leaders to address the crisis and ensure the safety of the large Indian diaspora in the region. Emmanuel Macron acknowledged Iran's primary responsibility for the situation while also noting that the US-Israel operation was conducted outside international law.
