Fordoward Thinking

Iran may still negotiate with US, taking a long view, while skirmishing with Israel. Even if its nuclear infra is damaged, its knowhow isn't. But if the conflict spreads, welfare of 9mn Indians in the region will be New Delhi's first concern For two decades every United States administration said it might someday bomb Iran's enrichment plants. On Saturday night that 'someday' arrived. B-2 stealth bombers dropped 30,000-pound 'bunker buster' bombs while submarines and aircraft launched Tomahawks at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, the three most consequential nodes in Iran's IAEA monitored nuclear network. Trump declared that 'Fordow is gone', and that Tehran must 'agree to end this war'. The flourish was vintage Trump – muscular and headline grabbing. But behind the applause lines lies a strategic gamble whose downsides may echo far beyond Qom. Trump crossed a threshold earlier presidents tiptoed around, turning an Israel-Iran slugfest into a US-Iran confrontation. He insists the raid was a 'one-off', intended to cripple enrichment. Although neither US nor Israel has produced evidence that Iran was on the brink of building a bomb, the Pentagon's quick look report claims the strikes set the programme back by years at minimal cost. Physics, however, counsels humility. Centrifuges are hardware while enrichment expertise is software lodged in scientists' heads. Bombs can destroy cylinders but not knowledge. Hardliners in Tehran will now argue that only a nuclear weapon can deter the next bunker buster. Did the raid delay a bomb or make it inevitable? Iran accused US of a grave violation of the UN Charter, NPT and international law and vowed that it will not go unanswered. The easiest escalation is to menace the Strait of Hormuz through which about a fifth of global oil passes every day. Next may come missile salvos on Gulf energy infra or on US installations, and then the possible activation of proxies from Lebanon to Yemen. With Iran's parliament reportedly approving the closure of the strait, Brent could easily move past $100 a barrel. Oxford Economics projects $130 if flows are disrupted, a level that would push world inflation back toward 6%. Traders are already paying a war premium in afterhours quotes. Jerusalem meanwhile is jubilant. Netanyahu called the strike a bold decision. Strategically Israel has shifted part of the fight and the risk to Washington. If Iran retaliates, Americans rather than Israelis will calibrate the counterpunch. That is deterrence by entanglement in the short run. Over time it hands Iran a larger menu of US targets and risks dragging America into a war it does not want. Russia immediately cited the bombing as proof of US recklessness while Beijing called it a serious violation of international norms. Any condemning move at the Security Council will face a US veto. However, in the General Assembly the Global South is expected to side with Iran in significant numbers. For India the strike lands like a thunderclap at a cricket match. New Delhi has tried to balance a growing partnership with Washington, deep defence ties with Israel and consequential arrangements with Tehran, from the Chabahar port to International North-South Transit Corridor and once-robust crude imports. That balancing act has lately been criticised by the main opposition party. ● The immediate anxiety is economic. The Gulf supplies 54% of India's oil, generates about 40% of its remittances and accounts for more than $170bn in two-way trade. India imports more than 80% of its crude; every ten dollar rise in Brent adds about one billion dollars a month to the import bill and pressures the rupee. Consumer inflation just slipped below 5%; a Hormuz scare could undo that gain and complicate RBI's plan to cut rates. GOI is already moving to secure supplies, eyeing the strategic petroleum reserve and talking to several producers to ensure continuity. ● A second priority is the safety of nearly nine million Indians working in the region. Evacuation from Iran and Israel is underway. Operation Sankalp ships in the region can be helpful, if required. Diplomatically India has open channels with Washington, Tehran and Jerusalem, but leverage is thin while missiles fly. Still New Delhi may be able to offer discreet messages that help each side edge away from the brink, just like back-channel efforts by Qatar and Muscat. Meanwhile others such as Saudi Arabia and UAE are actively counselling restraint. The key actors need face-saving options. That also means Washington spelling out what de-escalation looks like. Would it accept enrichment capped below weapons grade? Does it envisage returning to the JCPOA framework with phased sanctions relief? Absent clarity Tehran will read 'time for peace' as code for surrender. In US, supporters have praised decisive action; critics have warned that the President had bypassed Congress and demanded a War Powers vote. Trump's boast that the mission was historic and limited is politically smart yet strategically ambiguous. If Iran swallows the blow and returns to talks the White House can claim victory. If Tehran retaliates Washington can strike again and say it had no choice. Either way the attack chips away at the nonproliferation regime and bets that humiliation will not ignite a wider war. The US entry into another West Asian conflict recalls 1991 and 2003, but this round involves nuclear facilities, peer power pushback and an energy hungry Global South. Fordow's tunnels may indeed be rubble, yet geopolitics rarely collapses neatly. US strikes may be tactically brilliant. Strategically they kick a radioactive can down a much steeper road. That road needs to be kept from becoming a cratered battlefield. The test is whether diplomacy can move faster than the bunker busters.

Iran mulls to block Strait of Hormuz

New Delhi: Iran's Parliament has approved the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, though the final decision will be taken by the Supreme National Security Council. After the US struck three Iranian military sites, all eyes are now on Iran's potential retaliation. In the range of options Iran has, possibly the most discussed is the threat to block the Strait of Hormuz. So far, most experts had agreed that Iran would not go that far. America's actions on Sunday seemed to have changed that. Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Aragchi, when asked by reporters about Hormuz, said simply that 'a variety of options are available with Iran'. The Strait, a vital chokepoint for global oil shipments, handles nearly a fifth of the world's petroleum trade. It handles around 20 million barrels of crude oil per day — nearly one-fifth of global daily consumption. A closure would cripple oil exports from key Gulf producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, and Kuwait. While some alternate pipelines exist, they can only handle a small share — roughly 2.6 million barrels per day. Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, vital to Asia and Europe, would also be disrupted. A global oil shock would ripple across economies already grappling with inflation. Energy costs would spike, supply chains would slow, and shipping insurers are already pricing in new war-risk premiums. Economists warn a sustained disruption could slash global GDP by 1–2%, raising the risk of a worldwide recession. India, which imports 90% of its crude — with over 40% coming through Hormuz — is especially vulnerable. A cut-off would affect refinery operations, trade balances, and drive inflation through soaring fuel prices. The rupee would likely come under pressure, and the government may be forced to dip into its 74-day oil reserves. Major General Kowsari, a member of the parliament's National Security Committee, confirmed the development, stating that the proposal reflects national sentiment but awaits the green light from the country's highest decision-making body on security matters. The escalation comes amid rising tensions following Israel's ongoing military operations against Iran-linked targets and a deadly regional standoff.

Stock Market LIVE: GIFT Nifty down; Asia falls on US entry in Israel-Iran war

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE on Monday, June 23, 2025: At 6:32 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 148 points lower at 24,964, indicating a gap-down start for the bourses. 7:25 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: Amazon enters India's $15 bn diagnostics market with at-home testing Stock Market LIVE Updates: Amazon India has launched Amazon Diagnostics, an at-home healthcare service that allows customers to book lab tests, schedule appointments and receive digital reports directly via the Amazon app. Initially available in six cities—Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai and Hyderabad—the service covers more than 450 PIN codes and offers access to over 800 diagnostic tests. Customers can request doorstep sample collection within 60 minutes and receive digital reports for routine tests in as little as six hours, the company said. READ MORE 7:24 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nearly 75 per cent of Indian CEOs say that the global uncertainty — driven by escalating tensions between Israel and Iran and the uncertain trade tariff environment — is 'somewhat impacting' their businesses. However, the remaining respondents do not foresee any significant disruptions, according to a nationwide dipstick survey of the CEOs conducted last week. Despite the geopolitical tensions, 83.33 per cent of the 12 CEOs surveyed by Business Standard affirmed that they are not altering their greenfield investment plans, even after US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday raised the stakes in the region. READ MORE 7:23 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: Crude shocks loom on domestic market as US joins Iran-Israel conflict Stock Market LIVE Updates: Investors may have to brace for heightened volatility on Monday, following the US military's direct involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict over the weekend. Analysts expect benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty to correct by 1-1.5 per cent if crude oil prices spike and Asian markets react negatively to the escalating tensions in West Asia. However, sustained buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs) could help cushion the blow. Last week, Indian equities gained over 1.5 per cent despite rising hostilities between Iran and Israel. On early Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced targeted airstrikes on three of Iran's major nuclear facilities — Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan — using stealth bombers and bunker-buster bombs. He described the strikes as a 'spectacular military success' and claimed Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities had been 'obliterated'. Trump warned of further military action should Tehran retaliate. READ MORE 7:20 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: It was an unprecedented attack years in the making, with some last-minute misdirection meant to give the operation a powerful element of surprise. US pilots dropped 30,000-pound bombs early Sunday on two key underground uranium enrichment plants in Iran, delivering what American military leaders believe is a knockout blow to a nuclear programme that Israel views as an existential threat and has been pummelling for more than a week. American sailors bolstered the surprise mission by firing dozens of cruise missiles from a submarine toward at least one other site. READ MORE 7:14 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: RBI deepens scrutiny of bank board meetings and governance practices Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is taking a much closer look at bank board deliberations and may issue directives to improve governance practices. Senior officials in both state-run and private banks told Business Standard that following the developments at IndusInd Bank, the central bank's senior supervisory managers (SSMs) were asking questions on the agenda presented to boards, the time spent discussing specific items, and observations made by independent directors. READ MORE 7:10 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: West Asia conflict: Exporters in dire straits as Hormuz trade route erupts Stock Market LIVE Updates: Shippers and logistics firms in India — key to the export–import (exim) trade — now fear no quick relief from the global shipping crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, which now is at the verge of closure. This follows the US bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday and subsequent Iranian strikes on Israel. 'Freight rates have started rising, and the situation is volatile. With the US hitting critical Iranian nuclear sites, retaliation is expected, and tensions will stay high. This will affect oil prices and shipping charges. War risk premiums are already being added to shipments. Exporters have started feeling the heat in both air and sea freight,' said Dushyant Mulani, chairman of the Federation of Freight Forwarders' Associations in India. READ MORE 7:08 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: US bombs Iran nuclear facilities: Impact on stocks, bonds, oil decoded here Stock Market LIVE Updates: Following Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear sites on 13 June, the US bombed three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend. This military strike was widely anticipated by the market after Mr. Trump's recent warnings. The conflict could escalate further, as the US and Israel may push for the fall of Khamenei's regime in Iran, as it may retaliate to survive. Brent crude oil price is already up about 18 per cent in the past month, fearing escalation, but still remains below $80/bbl. Despite Iran being a heavily sanctioned country, it is estimated that Iran produces 3.0 to 4.0 million barrels of oil (world oil output of 103 million barrels last year), and it largely exports it to China. Iran warned that it may close the Strait of Hormuz (~26 per cent of oil trade), attack US military installations in the region, and take other military and diplomatic actions.
