Operation Sindhu: 570 Indians evacuated so far from war-torn Iran; MEA leading coordinated rescue effort
Saturday, 21 June 2025 Under 'Operation Sindhu,' India has successfully evacuated 517 nationals from Iran amidst escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. A special flight from Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, landed in New Delhi, bringing more Indians home. Evacuees like Zaffar Abbas Naqvi expressed gratitude for the swift action, highlighting the escalating attacks and the Indian government's support in their safe return.
In a scathing critique, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has condemned Israel’s Gaza war strategy under Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling it “unjust, immoral, and unwinnable.” Ayalon warns that Israel risks becoming a global pariah without a political roadmap for Gaza. He criticizes the Abraham Accords for sidelining Palestinians and urges a return to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. With ICC war crime warrants issued and Hamas vowing more attacks, pressure mounts on Netanyahu to rethink Israel’s military and political course.

In a major policy shift, Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, citing rising civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense but said Berlin could not ignore the human toll of the conflict. The move marks a rare break from U.S. alignment and reflects mounting European discontent. As the war intensifies, Germany calls for humanitarian corridors and warns against West Bank annexation, signaling a shift in global patience with Netanyahu’s strategy.

In a bold response to Trump’s steep 50% tariffs, India and Brazil have vowed to deepen strategic and trade ties. Following a key call between PM Modi and President Lula, both leaders condemned unilateral sanctions and pledged to defend multilateralism. They agreed on a joint framework spanning trade, energy, defense, and technology, aiming to boost bilateral trade to $20 billion by 2030. Lula confirmed a 2026 India visit, while VP Alckmin will attend trade talks in New Delhi this October.

Indian NSA Ajit Doval has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be visiting India later this year. This visit marks a pivotal moment in geopolitics, coming just as U.S.-India relations sour over Trump’s harsh new tariffs. Following Washington's backlash against New Delhi’s Russian oil imports, India has pushed back, defending its energy policy. Putin’s trip signals Moscow’s commitment to deeper strategic ties. As Trump threatens secondary sanctions, India and Russia are visibly aligning to counter U.S. pressure, reshaping alliances in a rapidly polarizing global order.

India has strongly condemned President Donald Trump’s decision to impose an additional 25% tariff on its goods, effectively doubling the rate to 50%. In a fiery response, New Delhi accused Washington of “economic bullying” and called out U.S. hypocrisy on free trade. The move has heightened tensions between the two nations, with India warning of possible retaliatory measures. Analysts say the tariff hike could impact billions in bilateral trade, strain diplomatic ties, and escalate the ongoing global trade wars.

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike.
Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm?
