Iran-Israel War Escalation to Impact India's Trade with West Asia, Say Experts

On June 22, 2025, the US struck three Iranian nuclear facilities, intensifying the Iran-Israel conflict and raising regional security concerns.
This escalation follows Israel's June 13 launch of Operation Rising Lion targeting Iran's nuclear sites amid rising missile attacks between both countries.
The conflict threatens India's trade, as possible disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea could significantly affect oil imports and agricultural exports.
Mumbai exporter Sharad Kumar Saraf warned of cascading trade risks from rerouted consignments and rising freight costs, while Tehran condemned the strikes as 'unlawful and reckless,' holding Washington and Tel Aviv accountable.
Egypt postponed Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty's visit to India due to geopolitical tensions, suggesting broader economic and diplomatic impacts including inflation from rising crude oil prices.
