Speaking on Israel-Iran war long term impact on world and India at specific, former diplomat Mahesh Sachdev said that India has stakes in Middle East and because of oil dependence and presence of Indian diaspora in the region."A lot would depend on whether Iran decides to carry out its threatened retaliation for such an action. It will require a slightly longer-term assessment of whether the three sides in question have been totally destroyed, as President Trump mentioned... If it is not confirmed, it might involve further American raids, or might involve Iran repledging itself to exercise its nuclear option. Either way, it has ramifications for the entire world and specifically for India because India has a well-known stake in stability and peace in the Middle East for reasons of oil dependence, presence of Indian diaspora and remittances, trade, as well as investments," said Mahesh Sachdev.
