India’s Silent Endorsement of US Strikes

Modi’s government has responded to major U.S. military actions against Iran with prolonged silence or muted, delayed statements rather than public condemnation. That tacit alignment—compounded by a premier visiting Israel just before the strikes and a failure to protect Indian‑claimed maritime security when an Iranian frigate was attacked in the Indian Ocean—signals a realignment from India’s traditional non‑aligned posture toward deference to Washington. — If India privately accepts or publicly shrugs at U.S. strikes on Iran, it reshapes BRICS dynamics, energy security calculations (LNG deliveries), and India’s role as a spokesman for the Global South.
