Gulshan Sachdeva, Professor of European Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University in India, stated that there are no real signs of a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. He noted that while the US is concerned about the conflict's impact on energy markets and the global economy, Israel's objectives differ significantly. Sachdeva emphasized that without serious diplomatic talks between the US and Iran, the war is unlikely to end soon. He pointed out that Iran is looking for firm assurances against future attacks, particularly as it maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict has already caused damage to the global economy, with rising prices in the US having political ramifications. Additionally, Sachdeva highlighted the strain on NATO relations due to the US's unilateral actions in the conflict, particularly the lack of consultation with European allies, such as France, regarding military strategies.
