FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a report written for the Heritage Foundation, Lisa Curtis, a well-known US expert on South Asian issues, said “after Israeli diplomats have been targeted in India, the country will have to seriously factor the costs of oil trade with Iran to its rapidly growing defense ties with Israel.”
During the attack on Monday, the wife of an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi was injured when an embassy car exploded. The woman made it to the Israeli embassy and was transferred to a nearby hospital.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promptly accused Iran and Hezbollah of orchestrating the attack.
Curtis added that following the attack, “India will find it increasingly difficult to placate both Iran, on the one hand, and the US and Israel, on the other.”
“In the coming months, India and Israel are expected to sign a number of military contracts involving co-production and sophisticated Israeli technologies,” she said.
The expert noted that as a result of the attack, it will be increasingly difficult for Indian officials “to sweep under the carpet” their growing trade ties with Tehran.
“Skills of Indian strategists who seek to balance India’s role as a growing global power with its need to guard against the prospect of rising regional instability will be tested in coming months as the international confrontation with Iran intensifies,” she noted.
Last Sunday, The Economic Times, reported that during his latest visit to the US, Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai restated the decision to continue with Iran oil imports while stressing on cordial relations between Washington and New Delhi.
The US, Israel and their European allies accuse Iran of diversion in its peaceful nuclear program and have used this as an excuse to pass four rounds of international sanctions against the country at the UN Security Council.
Tehran insists that as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is fully entitled to the peaceful applications of nuclear energy.
