Four Ministers, One War, One Strait. The Quad Meets in Delhi Today.
Jaishankar hosts Rubio, Wong, and Motegi in Delhi today. The Quad's China mission now shares the table with Iran war and Hormuz energy crisis.
How global events affect India, and India's role on the world stage.
Jaishankar hosts Rubio, Wong, and Motegi in Delhi today. The Quad's China mission now shares the table with Iran war and Hormuz energy crisis.
Rubio announced India will buy $500B in US goods. Two weeks ago Modi asked citizens to skip wedding gold. Congress called the PM 'compromised.'
Trump says MoU with Iran 'largely negotiated' — Hormuz to reopen, war to end. But Iran keeps strait control. India's petrol is at Rs 99.51 anyway.
Rubio arrives in Delhi offering India unlimited US oil and gas. Hormuz is shut, Venezuela's president visits with barrels to sell, and Delhi must choose.
India-Italy upgraded to Special Strategic Partnership: €20B trade target by 2029, defence roadmap, Indo-Mediterranean corridor amid the Iran war.
BRICS foreign ministers meet in New Delhi as India hosts Araghchi and Lavrov. The subtext is the Iran war — and an expiring US oil sanctions waiver.
One year after Operation Sindoor, the ceasefire holds. But diplomacy is frozen, the Indus Waters Treaty is suspended, and Pakistan gained leverage.
India's new PM inherits 3 energy crises before cabinet forms. Hormuz blockade, Russian oil waiver expires May 16, Qatar LNG damage. First move signals geopolitics.
India bought Russian oil, Iranian gas, and $13B in Gulf deals at once. Monday's election count decides which of those alliances survives the quarter.
Trump shared a Michael Savage post calling India a 'hellhole.' India's MEA took two tries to respond — and the gap between them tells the real story.
