Associate Fellow, IDSA, Mr S. Samuel C. Rajiv’s article on ‘India and Iran’s Nuclear Imbroglio: Navigating the Consequences‘ has been published in the Middle East Review of International Affairs, Vol. 16, No. 2 (June 2012).
India has faced difficulties as a result of developments vis-à-vis the Iranian nuclear program, including homeland security complications, energy security concerns, and uncertainties in key bilateral relationships (United States and Israel). It has, however, been successful in navigating these consequences while continuing to maintain robust relationships with Jerusalem and Washington so far. Uncertainties still remain on core issues of concern regarding the Iranian nuclear imbroglio. India will have to continue to show diplomatic dexterity and help expand the space for the application of strategies it considers best for its own national interests as well as for regional strategic stability.
