After the meeting of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, reports of “maximum pressure” strategy on Iran’s oil exports have emerged. If Iran’s 1.5 million barrels per day supply is disrupted, global crude prices may increase. It may have a direct impact on India, which is the world’s third largest oil consumer. Strait of Hormuz route and Chabahar Port are also in the risk zone. Amid US-Iran tension, India will have to manage both energy security and diplomatic balance.
