The ongoing U.S. military operations involving Iran are straining India's energy security and testing its diplomatic balance, according to Lisa Curtis, a former White House official for South Asia, who said New Delhi is navigating a complex and increasingly volatile situation.
"Well, I think first of all, it's impacting India's oil supply. India really relies on oil coming from the Middle East, so I'm sure Indian officials are very concerned about rising oil prices and how the crisis will impact the Indian economy," Curtis told IANS in an interview.
