US media: The blockade order in the Strait of Hormuz has put India in an energy crisis.
As the third-largest oil importer and second-largest liquefied petroleum gas consumer in the world, India is currently facing dual pressures of soaring energy costs and panic buying in the market.
Experts point out that the photo of Modi hugging Netanyahu during his visit to Israel last month "will be deeply rooted in the memory of Persians," weakening the negotiation leverage against Iran. India is the only founding member of BRICS that did not condemn the US-Israeli attack on Iran; India also jointly proposed a resolution condemning Iran's attack on Gulf countries at the UN Security Council.
Although India has long pursued a "neutral policy," its obvious tilt towards the US and Israel has led to a deterioration in relations with Iran - the Chabahar port project funding has been reduced, and the import of Iranian crude oil has been stopped. Bilateral relations between India and Iran have continued to cool down, and India's energy security is thus facing greater risks.
