🚨🚨New Publication🚨🚨 Our latest VANTAGE is now out!! "War in West Asia: The Hormuz Test" Link - tinyurl.com/3wpm55m6 We asked Indian Naval experts: 👉 The actions of both Iran, the coastal state, and the US, the self-appointed guarantor of freedom of navigation, are simultaneously blockading the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most crucial Strait for energy shipping. How does this affect the transit passage regime as a norm of customary international law, and what posture must India adopt before post-war negotiations rewrite the rules? 👉What lessons must India's Navy draw from the catastrophic failure of every assumption that underpinned chokepoint security, and is India's current naval doctrine and force posture adequate for this new reality? @HappymonJacob @GenHooda @Harpoonleader @Kim_HDarragh @MohanCRaja @theUdayB @nmfindia @abhijit227 @gurpreetbulbul @anuragbisen

In her latest in @IndianExpress, @TorunikaR argues that Modi–Lee talks yielded 15 outcomes and revived CEPA negotiations, but the reset reflects structural gaps in 🇮🇳–🇰🇷 ties. Without sustained political push, past patterns of drift may persist. 🔗Read here: tinyurl.com/yc89ncpw @HappymonJacob @MohanCRaja @Harpoonleader @KoreaFoundation @RokEmbIndia @IndiainROK
