Rahul Gandhi views the escalating Middle East tensions between Israel and Iran as a proxy battle among major global powers: the United States, Russia, and China.
Warning on Economic Fallout for India
Addressing students at Marian College in Kuttikkanam, Gandhi highlighted India’s heavy reliance on Middle Eastern energy supplies. He cautioned that disruptions could drive up fuel prices and hinder economic growth.
Call for Strategic Clarity
Gandhi emphasized the need for India to define clear policy stances amid these global frictions. With China sharing a border and the US serving as a key ally, he described the current era as “violent and dangerous.”
He stressed that India must navigate these dynamics carefully to avoid entanglement in a broader superpower clash.
