India will be deeply affected if Israel-Iran war escalates; it is because Indians..., economy will...
New Delhi: Israel has deepened the tension in the Gulf region by attacking Iran late on Thursday night, June 12, and this has also raised concerns for India's diplomacy at many levels. The Indian Foreign Ministry has not only expressed serious concern over the situation in Israel and Iran, but has also appealed to emphasize diplomacy and dialogue between the two sides. There are many reasons for India's concern. Biggest reason for India's concern The biggest reason is that India has good relations with both these countries, due to which India is not in a position to stand with any one country. While Israel is one of India's most important defense partner countries, India has historical relations with Iran. Iran has helped India on many occasions on the platform of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC). Despite the constant pressure from America, India has maintained its relations with Iran. Indians in Gulf region If a war between Iran and Israel becomes serious, then there can be concerns about the security of 90 lakh to 1 crore Indian citizens working in the Gulf region. These Indians have sent an amount of about 45 billion dollars last year itself which plays an important role in the country's economy. In Israel, 12 thousand Indians have been sent to work in the last few months. 18-20 thousand Indians live in Israel. Many of them are students. Similarly, more than 10 thousand Indians live in Iran too. India is concerned about providing security to all of them. The Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement, 'We are very concerned about the situation in Iran and Israel. We are keeping a very careful eye on the news of attack on nuclear bases and the changing situation there. India appeals to both the sides not to take any step to make the situation more serious. India has friendly relations with both the countries and we are ready to provide any kind of help regarding the current situation. Our missions in both the countries are in touch with the citizens. We advise all Indian citizens to stay safe and follow local security advice.' Rise in cost of crude oil When the situation in the Gulf worsens, it always increases the prices of crude oil. The price of crude oil, which was in a very soft environment for a long time, has become 9 percent expensive on Friday, 13 June 2025 after the Israel-Iran dispute and has crossed $ 75 per barrel. This is the biggest increase in the prices of crude in a single day in recent months. India imports 86 percent of its crude oil requirement from abroad.

Bad news for Pakistan in meeting of Islamic countries, 3 Muslim countries blocked proposal against...., the countries are...
Pakistan suffers big setback in OIC meeting of Islamic countries... 3 Muslim countries together blocked the proposal against.... the countries are... In a major blow to Pakistan and a huge diplomatic win for New Delhi at Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), countries like Indonesia, Egypt and Bahrain blocked Islamabad's anti-India proposal. According to reports, a meeting of OIC, a Parliamentary Union was held in Jakarta where Pakistan wanted to adopt a tough stand against India on the Kashmir issue. But Indonesia, Egypt and Bahrain foiled Pakistan's efforts to corner India among Muslim countries. The rejection of Pakistan's proposal in OIC also means that Pakistan's influence among Islamic countries has reduced significantly and these countries are standing with India. According to sources, Indonesia, Egypt and Bahrain have played an important role in foiling Pakistan's anti-India agenda in the OIC meeting. Although Pakistan is propagating that it has achieved success against India during the meeting in Jakarta, but the reality is that Pakistan's agenda on Kashmir has failed in the OIC. Big setback to Pakistan in OIC meeting Indonesia has been supporting India's position on Kashmir for years and it has stood with India's territorial integrity. Apart from this, the strategic partnership between India and Indonesia has also grown rapidly following the island country also talking to buy Brahmos missile from India. Apart from this, Egypt is also focusing on strengthening its defense, investment and connectivity relations with India. India's relations with Bahrain have also improved a lot in the last decade. Indonesia pays a lot of attention to its territorial integrity. The reason for this is that it has had a similar experience in Papua. Indonesia has often taken strict action against terrorist infrastructure and radical ideology. Therefore, India and Indonesia have a lot of similar views on the issue of fighting terrorism. You will remember that during India's Republic Day celebrations this year, the President of Indonesia was the chief guest and he canceled his program in Pakistan. Earlier also, when an OIC meeting was held in New York after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, even during that time Oman had tried to stop the use of harsh words on Kashmir. After that, India strongly criticized Pakistan. India had said that Islamabad misled the OIC group and issued a one-sided statement on the terrorist attacks in Kashmir. India had insisted that Pakistan gave wrong information to the OIC. This time too, Pakistan wanted to corner India on the Kashmir issue. But Indonesia, Egypt and Bahrain foiled its move. These countries supported India and Pakistan had to face humiliation on the international stage.
