The Wounded Gulf: WILL THE TRUCE LAST? Will the two-week ceasefire between US/Israel, and Iran last? What are the sticking points for a peace deal? Will there now be an Islamic NATO in the Gulf? Expert analysis from Ambassador @drausaf, former MEA secretary overseeing West Asia. #NBTT | @rajchengappa

Speaking to @rajchengappa on Nothing But The Truth, former MEA Secretary and Ambassador, @drausaf explains that while discussions around an “Islamic NATO” gained traction after regional conflicts exposed vulnerabilities, the proposal has failed to materialise. Attempts to bring together countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar have remained stuck at the discussion stage due to political differences and lack of strategic alignment.

The Iranian side has always mentioned that they are ready for a long war. The American side always says they are only here for a small operation, will achieve all their objectives very soon, and then pull out. There is a conflict of objectives and a conflict of strategies to fight the war: @SumitDefence @rajchengappa shares his views. #DemocraticNewsroom @Geeta_Mohan

#IndiaTodayConclave26 | At the India Today Conclave, European envoys outlined the role India could play amid the West Asia conflict. Italy’s Ambassador Antonio Bartoli warned the war’s consequences are already visible; rising energy prices, inflation and economic strain, noting both Europe and India face similar challenges, including energy security and citizens in the region. Spain’s Ambassador Juan Antonio March Pujol said India should act as a “locomotive” for harmony and inclusiveness, pointing to India’s history of integrating diverse regions into one republic. German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann @AmbAckermann added that India, with strong ties to both Israel and Iran, has every right to push itself into diplomatic conversations to help ease tensions. @Geeta_mohan | @RajChengappa #Germany #Italy #Spain #IndiaTodayConclave26 #IndiaTodayGlobal

Enjoyed speaking at the @IndiaToday Conclave on strengthening the U.S.-India partnership. The United States and India are paying close attention to each other and that attention reflects something deeper: A partnership that is growing stronger, more visible, and more consequential every year. In just a few months, we’ve moved from talking about potential to delivering results.

H.E. @AmbAckermann, H.E. Antonio Bartoli and H.E. Juan Antonio March Pujol discuss the shifting global order and the transatlantic diplomatic playbook. | #ITLivestream #IndiaTodayConclave26 | @Geeta_mohan @RajChengappa twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
