Why it's a Bad Idea for India to Side With US-Israel Over Iran

t has now been 13 days since the US and Israel attacked Iran, killing the country’s supreme leader Ayotallah Ali Khamenei. The US and Israel have not spared civilian sites in Iran, and heartbreaking images emerged on February 28 when a girl’s elementary school in Minab was hit and 165 schoolgirls were killed. Iran has retaliated to these aggressions by launching missiles at US military bases in Gulf states and at Israel, particularly in and around Tel Aviv. Iran has also effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s biggest oil shipping channel. The Wire's Jahnavi Sen discusses these developments, India's response and more with Professor Anuradha Chenoy, who taught at Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Ghazala Wahab, Editor of Force Magazine.
