Honestly we played a blinder but at the same time I think we partly benefit from some disasterous missteps by India
On paper India should have played the role of mediator. Large importer of oil/LNG, biggest navy in the region by far, US strategic ally, and investor in Iran's Chahbar port. They f**ked it all up massively
1) Pissing off Trump after May 7th last year
2) Spying on the Qatari sub programme for Israel
3) Visiting Israel 2 days prior to attack and all the "Motherland" "Fatherland" BS
4) Siding so closely with UAE
A 12 year old could have been more deft at diplomacy here. All of the above managed to piss off the US, Iranians, Saudis and Qataris all at once. That actually takes some doing.
Amazed Jaishanker still has a job but guess Modi wants to keep him close by as he is a potential rival for BJP Leadership
Not to mention all the endless hindutva bullshit and simping for Zionists and white supremacists for years
They put themselves into this position, they are just to stupid to see it
