US EditionGlobal Tensions: The Impact of Iran-Israel Conflict on India's Trade
- The escalating Iran-Israel conflict in June 2025 threatens India's trade and regional stability as both nations exchange deadly attacks and airspace closures.
- This conflict follows prior disruptions like the October 2023 Red Sea cargo halt and stems from ongoing hostilities that risk broader regional war and global trade contraction.
- India closely monitors the situation with embassy helplines, relocates students within Iran, and plans high-level discussions with shipping and trade stakeholders amid disrupted airspace and altered sea routes.
- Crude oil prices rose to $75.14 per barrel on June 16, and exporters warn that freight and insurance costs could surge by up to 50% if the conflict prolongs, impacting India's exports to Europe and Israel.
- The conflict jeopardizes India's critical oil imports via the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea, posing inflationary risks and supply uncertainty while pressuring global logistics and trade flows.
