The ongoing standoff, with Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz and the US blockade still in place, has driven fuel prices sharply higher and rattled global markets, raising fears of a wider Middle East conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned that the war is “not over” and said military action remains an option if Iran’s nuclear material cannot be removed through negotiations.

Arnab Goswami emphasizes that Indias Prime Minister advised middle-class Indians to travel domestically rather than abroad, choose Indian locations for weddings rather than foreign ones, refrain from buying gold and gold jewelry for the next year, and, whenever feasible, revert to some of the changes made during the Covid-19 pandemic, such as working from home and holding virtual meetings.

India recently tested its Agni-V missile with MIRV technology, meaning one missile can carry 10–12 warheads aimed at different targets. Each warhead separates mid-flight using a maneuvering bus and follows its own guided path, making defense systems struggle to intercept multiple objects at once. The test used a depressed trajectory, reducing warning time and complicating interception. This strengthens India’s nuclear deterrence under its no-first-use policy, ensuring survivability even after an enemy strike. Developed entirely with domestic technology, India now joins the US, Russia, China, France, and the UK in mastering MIRV, with future plans for Agni-VI and submarine-launched missiles.
