Against India, neither does Iran. India has been their long term ally. Gave safe haven for their ships which would have been sunk by the American navy. And is one of the few Trading partners who will buy large quantities of their oil.

That's how it works with diplomats, that's literally the word for it. They get summoned, or they request an audience. The whole point of diplomats and embassy is to keep a civil and open line of exchange, no matter what.

The IRGC has reportedly gone to a “decentralized” command structure since all the top leadership have pretty much been killed. The IRGC and Iranian Government can also barely agree on things during peace time. So, you’re gonna have a lot of people saying one thing and a lot of people doing another.

They have. We have people desecrate monuments to support their umma. India is absolutely tolerant. There are right wing frings who love to dunk on helpless minorities. But we have always been most tolerant of such actions. The most we would get is a public outcry.

India isn't their biggest ally. That would be either Russia or China. India is at best lukewarm to the current Iranian leadership to balance the relationship they have with Israel

India was buying iranian oil in the past , out of all the countries iran has given its chabahar port to indian company , don't think india and iran had any problem in past until this incident ..
26
hakenwithbacon 23 hr ago +22
That doesn't equate to them being their biggest ally. India stopped buying oil when sanctions were imposed. China continued to buy it till recently and only stopped because of the war and difficulty with getting ships across the strait. So if India is the biggest ally by your measure, then is China the biggestest ally?

I am not saying india is ally I am saying india - iran have decent relationship... But at same time india have good relationship with isreal and arab countries so india have diplomatically balance all that

The Islamic Republic committed more war crimes by doing this. It should be held accountable. Every country needs to expel the Iranian ambassador at the very minimum. They should also cut off al trade with the regime.

What about the US Blockade ?

trevor426 1 day ago +12
Has the US fired at/on any ships? A blockade isn't necessarily a war crime. I know they announced humanitarian ships could pass, but knowing the Trump admin, it wouldn't shock me if they did block those humanitarian ships and commit another war crime.

Yes US shot their Navy ship invited by India for joint exercise in Indian ocean at the beginning of the war... Then this Gaurav Arya started media war bad mouthing. This gave the wrong signal. Let the Foreign minister speak . Why these media trying to represent India .They are hell bent to spoil Indian image.... Same they did during operation sindhoor. When will they learn lessons. May they got offended and this happened. Otherwise India and Iran had good history.

India will not get involved in this because three of the four parties involved in this war are not rational beings. Also India is not very good at this third party intervention, they have done it the past and it didn’t lead to good outcomes so the only thing to do is stay out.

india is not switzerland and has a strong military with the ability to fight its own wars. it is among the top four militaries in the world. india has not received much help from western countries except from france and maybe israel so it should not expect much help in the future either and it is strong enough and knows how to look after itself. also india does not take sides because it chooses not to and wants to maintain good relationships with all countries

But is India not very reliant on the Strait? why tolerate Iran closing it ur forcng u to pay a toll, when you coule cooperate with England, france, uk, italy, .. to open the strait for all international traffic. Independently of the US, so not taking sides.

No_Tree_8144 1 day ago +8
for the same reason pretty much no asian country is getting involved too much. america (in particular) and Europe overall has for a long time caused a mess across the world and just kinda get up and leave when they're done. leaving everyone else in the region to deal with the mess. lets say india does get involved and ends up on the bad side of the IRGC, what exactly are they gonna do if trump gets bored of this whole thing 3 weeks or 3 months (or even 3 days tbh) from now and leaves? countries like india are gonna be left trying to make do with whatever situations left. as of now from indias perspective they've had some of the most tankers pass thru the strait. when you compare it with pretty much any other country. and they probably realize that the IRGC command structure is a total mess and one moronic battalion is enough to go rogue and do something stupid. both the political and military leadership made it pretty clear india gets a pass so they're much better off having backdoor conversations about this whole thing to make sure it doesn't happen again.
