The Caravan@thecaravanindia

The latest episode of The Caravan Baatcheet is out now! In this episode, host Vishnu Sharma (@hellovishnu) discussed the potential implications of India's changing relationship with Israel with journalist S. Shubhendu (@ssdkkr) and Senior Associate Editor Ajachi Chakrabarti (@marcopolar). During the conversation, they highlighted that unconditional support for Israel could have far-reaching consequences. Such a stance could affect not only India’s global image but also the interests of millions of Indian expatriates living in the Middle East and the country’s energy security.

Oil and gas prices are rising. Stock markets are crashing. The fear of the war widening across the Persian Gulf region, where over 9 million Indians are living and working, is looming large. This war threatens India's energy security, economic interests and physical safety of millions of citizens. Ever since tensions started rising in West Asia, I have been saying that a regional war would be a nightmarish scenario for New Delhi. Not just me. Almost everyone knows this. My emphasis has been simple: stability serves India's interests best and India should actively stay invested in it. This also means that the forces of instability in the Persian Gulf and the larger West Asian region are hurting India's core interests. India should be concerned about Iran's attacks in the Gulf and express its concerns. At the same time, we should also understand that Iran didn't start this war. Is it difficult to see? Israel's unchecked militarism and its disregard for international law (it has bombed at least five countries in the region, besides Palestinian territories, since Oct 7; and started two wars with Iran in eight months, including the latest one, bringing the war closer to India's shores) are not in India's interests. If India wants stability in West Asia, Israel wants chaos. It seeks to reshape the region by force. New Delhi should be more vocal about its interests, especially with its partners. And it should should reinforce its neutrality, which has been a vital component of its West Asia strategy--it shouldn't have altered it in the first place.

Why should Trump call Putin in the middle of a war, hours after Putin offered his 'unwavering support' for the new Iranian rahbar? The only reason I can think of is that Trump wants an off-ramp. The best way to understand how the Americans are fighting this war is to look at the statements issued by Trump and his Cabinet members. On Day 1, Trump wanted regime change. On Day 2, he said he had authorised talks; On Day 4, he wanted Kurds to join in (not he rules it out); On Day 5, he said Iran wanted a deal; On Day 6, he demanded "unconditional surrender"; On Day 7, he said Iran had "surrendered to its neighbours" and that he should be involved in the selection of the new rahbar; and on Day 10, after Iran chose a new rahbar, Marco Rubio listed three objectives--destroy Iran's missile launch capabilities; targeting their missile stockpiles and launchers; and destroy missile production facilities. Note: no regime change, no unconditional surrender, no talk about Iran's nuclear stockpile. On the same day, Trump said the U.S. had already won the war. WSJ reports Trump advisers urge him to find an exit ramp. David Ignatius writes in The Post that the Israelis are worried about the escalation (Israel is being hit massively by the way and you won't see the satellite images--just go to Hebrew twitter). Trump can unilaterally declare victory and announce and end to attacks. But there is a problem. The Iranians also have a say in it. They launched retaliatory attacks even this morning. The Iranian position from Feb 28 has been consistent--no ceasefire, no talks, and no external intervention in the inner workings of the state. Trump really wants someone to talk to the Iranians so that there would be a mutual ceasefire. #WarOnIran

The geopolitical message behind Bessent’s statement, reads something like this: The U.S. is willing to be flexible with India in moments of crisis — but still expects India’s long-term energy alignment to move closer to American interests. This is classic great-power diplomacy. The United States is effectively saying: •India can temporarily keep buying Russian oil •but only because Washington is allowing it •and only for a short window •while expecting India to shift toward U.S. energy States use sanctions, waivers, and exemptions to shape the behaviour of partners. And India? It is moving even closer to the U.S. strategic orbit, even if Delhi never says so explicitly. Measured ambiguity (packaged in strategic autonomy) on Iran obviously yields benefits and manoeuvring space for now. India has lashed part of its rigging to the U.S. (and Israeli) mast for seeming stability in turbulent seas. In sum- this is a developing story, and the strategic landscape around it is still shifting.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

President Trump’s energy agenda has resulted in oil and gas production reaching the highest levels ever recorded. To enable oil to keep flowing into the global market, the Treasury Department is issuing a temporary 30-day waiver to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil. This deliberately short-term measure will not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government as it only authorizes transactions involving oil already stranded at sea. India is an essential partner of the United States, and we fully anticipate that New Delhi will ramp up purchases of U.S. oil. This stop-gap measure will alleviate pressure caused by Iran’s attempt to take global energy hostage.

India's strategic autonomy and national sovereignty is under dire threat because PM Modi is getting blackmailed on Epstien Files and Adani Case. The US proclamation to 'allow' and grant us 'permission' to buy Russian oil, as a 'waiver for 30-days' clearly demonstrates Modi Govt is continuously cedeing diplomatic space. This is the kind of language which is used for sanctioned states, and not India, who has been a responsible and an equal partner in global order. 1⃣ Modi ji's friend Mr. Trump announces ceasefire first during Operation Sindoor, not us. He announces that he stopped the war - atleast 100 times! PM silent. 2⃣They tell India not to buy Iranian oil. GOI succumbs. 3⃣ Mr. Trump tells us not to buy Russian oil and GOI reduces the imports. 4⃣ Mr. Trump announced the Indo-US Trade Deal Agreement, which is contingent on India not buying Russian oil, Modi ji puts a stamp of approval. 5⃣ Now, the US grants India a "temporary 30-day waiver" and "allows" Indian refineries to buy Russian oil. From trade to oil, from data to India's long-term relationships with friendly countries, Modi ji SURRENDERED it all. India has a proud record of chartering our own destiny. It remained unblemished until now. From Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi to even Atal Bihari Vajpayee - No Prime Minister has buckled under pressure of any country and made India a virtual vassal state, except Modi ji. "Main Desh Nahi Jhukne Doonga" was a mere slogan-cry to win elections. 140 Cr Indians stand betrayed.

Yesterday, we had challenged @HardeepSPuri to clarify India’s position on the purchase of Russian oil. Interestingly, the clarification arrived today – albeit from the United States. Permission has apparently been granted. Temporarily. For one month. Imagine the scale of leverage “Gangs of Epstein” continue to exercise over @narendramodi that India – a sovereign nation – has been reduced to a client state, with its energy security contingent on the approval of Donald Trump. Our glorious nation of 1.4 billion people left at the mercy of a group of pedophiles and rapists in Washington. What a disgrace!

ईरान ने Strait of Hormuz बंद कर दिया है। वहां से सिर्फ रूस और चीन के जहाज ही जा सकते हैं। इस लिस्ट में भारत का नाम नहीं है। • Strait of Hormuz बंद होने के चलते, 10 हजार करोड़ का भारतीय सामान, 38 जहाज और 1,100 sailors फंसे हुए हैं • इंडियन नेशनल शिप ओनर्स एसोसिएशन ने भारत सरकार से मदद की गुजारिश की है, लेकिन सरकार मदद करने की स्थिति में नहीं है, क्योंकि भारत सरकार ने ईरान के साथ बातचीत के सारे रास्ते बंद कर लिए हैं • क्या नरेंद्र मोदी को नहीं मालूम नहीं था कि ऐसा कुछ होने वाला है? • Strait of Hormuz बंद होने के कारण देश के लोगों को खामियाजा उठाना पड़ेगा, क्योंकि LPG, LNG उसी रास्ते से आता है • मिडिल ईस्ट में होने वाले युद्ध का असर हमारे लोगों के साथ देश के फर्टिलाइजर, ट्रांसपोर्ट, माइनिंग, रेलवे, पॉवर, एग्रीकल्चर समेत कई सेक्टर्स पर पड़ेगा आने वाले समय में जिस तरह से महंगाई बढ़ेगी और मंदी आएगी, हम उसकी कल्पना भी नहीं कर सकते हैं। : AICC मीडिया और पब्लिसिटी विभाग के चेयरमैन @Pawankhera जी 📍 दिल्ली

The world has entered a volatile phase. Stormy seas lie ahead. India’s oil supplies are under threat, with more than 40% of our imports transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The situation is even worse for LPG and LNG. The conflict has reached our backyard, with an Iranian warship sunk in the Indian Ocean. Yet the Prime Minister has said nothing. At a moment like this, we need a steady hand at the wheel. Instead, India has a compromised PM who has surrendered our strategic autonomy.

India’s Balancing Act: Mastering Multipolarity in a Bipolar World It would have to be a nutjob in White House to not accept lower tariff barriers India is offering across sectors in a interim deal and rather issue a trade letter of 15-20% scuttling the access India is willing to offer. But then thats Trump for you, he wants all in or out nothing in between. That is not how diplomacy works it has got to be a win-win deal for both sides. Washington sees India detente with China via Moscow in October 2024 as an affront to its Pivot to Indo-Pacific. But then it was Washington which started undermining India with US DoJ cases against Adani & Nikhil Gupta. The threat of secondary Russian sanctions on India & China is now on table. The Americans cannot Tariff China else they will lose rare earths and the fragile oral deal with CCP will be up in smoke. India on other hand has reset its relationship with China & reviving defence strategic partnership with Russia on Putin’s upcoming annual visit to India. Trump meanwhile continues to Pivot America back to Pakistan as a loyal vassal state. Pak FM Ishaq Dar visit to Rubio & Munir visit to Beijing to calm the nerves in China underlines that dynamic. America wants Pakistan to pivot away from China while using it as a containment tool for India. A strategy even China is willing to chip in for without damaging huge trade relationship with India. India is rekindling ties with Russia. Likely deals of SU-57 (2 Squadrons with license for Make in India by HAL), Sukhoi upgrades, S-400 & and much more is on cards including Russian Oil & Energy. Moscow is Delhi’s strategic hedge while offering Washington LNG, Oil & Nuclear reactors in a trade deal. India is allowing Joint Ventures with Chinese Firms with 49% stake in those JVs with Indian firms specially in Auto Sector. This while launching its own indigenisation policy through PLI schemes in Rare Earths, Auto Magnets, Electronic Manufacturing, Drones, Pharma APIs, Telecom gear. This is not dependency; it’s strategic adaptation. India will take Chinese capital and technology only on its own terms, while insulating critical supply chains for the future. New Delhi is resetting ties in neighbourhood from Sri Lanka to Maldives to Mauritius to Nepal and Bhutan. Take what you have on table and build on it while concluding free trade agreements with UK, EU & New Zealand (under negotiation’s). Rare earths deals with Australia, Japan; military port in Colombo while managing Chabhar Port on the Iranian coast integrating itself into vast trade routes across Central Asia to Middle East to Indo-Pacific. Its strategic architecture now spans the Gulf to the Indo-Pacific asserting India as an autonomous pole in a world increasingly defined by a fragile U.S.-China bipolarity. From Gulf to Indo-Pacific, India is now following its strategy of Multi-Polarity within an emerging Bi-Polar world. It seeks to court Russia, while offering access to United States in Trade and seek parity in trade with China. But New Delhi has one red line: sovereignty. It will not subordinate its interests to Washington, Beijing, or Moscow. This tightrope walk courting Russia for defense, the U.S. for energy and technology, and engaging China with guarded pragmatism is not for the faint-hearted. It requires geopolitical finesse and political will. It demands rejecting ideological binaries and embracing transactional realism, something few nations have managed since the Cold War. What India is executing under its current leadership is nothing short of a masterclass in geopolitical statecraft. It’s a bold, high-risk, high-reward game. But then, in a world slipping into chaos, boldness might just be what survival demands. By sticking to its core national interests, India is not just navigating the new world order it is helping shape it.
