India, despite projecting itself as a friend and strategic partner of Iran, failed to support Tehran during the Israel-Iran conflict. Its silence and covert actions exposed the insincerity behind its so-called friendship.
India’s outreach to Iran was never grounded in genuine partnership but was in fact designed to outflank Pakistan and induce instability using Iranian soil for supporting terrorism.
When time came to test the strength of relationship, India was the first one to dump Iran. What is being reported, indicates that far from helping, India actually actively assisted Mossad in executing its intelligence operation.
Over the years, India hyped its cooperation on Chabahar Port and other ventures, only to quietly withdraw when Iran faced real geopolitical pressure.
During Israel’s strikes on Iran, India chose silence over solidarity, prioritising ties with Tel Aviv over decades of claimed friendship with Tehran.
India’s refusal to condemn the Israeli attack revealed its clear tilt toward the Western-Israeli bloc, undermining its credibility in the Muslim world.
Far from standing by Iran, Indian intelligence agency RAW reportedly collaborated with Mossad against Tehran’s interests.
The arrest of 72 Indian operatives by Iran, suspected of leaking sensitive information to Israel, signals deep betrayal by a so-called partner.
Iran’s security agencies have reportedly traced Indian espionage operations contributing to Israeli targeting inside Iran.
India’s covert role in destabilizing Iran shows that its diplomacy is transactional and driven by strategic self-interest, not principled alliances.
At the international level, India remained completely irrelevant, having no role or voice at the G7 discussions on the Iran-Israel crisis.
Iran must reassess its engagement with India, which has repeatedly used Tehran as a pawn in its broader anti-Pakistan agenda.
India’s duplicity highlights why it cannot be trusted as a regional partner, neither by Iran nor by any country that values sovereignty and loyalty.
