Will India step in to mediate amid Iran-Israel escalation? – DW – 06/21/2025
With close ties to both Israel and Iran and as a self-proclaimed leader of the Global South, could Delhi help end the current conflict? DW's security podcast Global Eyes takes a look. With close ties to both Iran and Israel, India has the opportunity to mediate between the two as their confrontation continues and risks further geopolitical escalation. Delhi has increasingly sought out Israeli military technology but also long maintained good relations with Tehran for energy and other economic reasons. As a self-proclaimed leader of the Global South, will India step out of its traditional role of avoiding any strong position? Khinvraj Jangid, Director of the Jindal Center for Israel Studies in Delhi and Nicolas Blarel, a researcher on Indian foreign policy at Leiden University in the Netherlands, join the hosts of DW's security podcast, Global Eyes, to examine India's ties to both Israel and Iran.

India-Pakistan clash: the dangerous ‘new normal' – DW – 05/24/2025
Both sides have claimed victory in the most recent violent confrontation over Kashmir. DW's security podcast Global Eyes takes a look at the implications for South Asia as well as China and US. Both India and Pakistan are claiming victory in their most recent violent clash over Kashmir. Indian PM Narendra Modi and his counterpart in Islamabad Shehbaz Sharif however welcomed the truce, which US President Donald Trump proudly claimed had ended the 500 years of fighting between the two sides —Kashmir has repeatedly been a source of conflict between India and Pakistan since the end of British colonial rule in 1947. China's close relationship with Pakistan appears to have become even closer. Pakistan Army Chief—Field Marshal Aasim Munir has seen his public approval rating soar. Islamabad relied on Chinese-made missiles and aircraft which faced India's Western-made military technology for the first time. Both sides also deployed drones in the conflict. India has said Pakistan will not get water from Indian-controlled rivers—which would breach water sharing agreements that have withstood previous wars between the two nations. And what of the people of Kashmir—what do they want for their future and is anybody asking them? Guests Praveem Donthi of the International Crisis Group and indpendent analyst Sahar Khan join our hosts to look at the domestic, regional and interntional implications of the clash between the nuclear-armed rivals. Are there really any winners?
