- GEOPOLITICS, TRUMP 2.0, AND INDIA: WHAT LIES AHEAD?
Despite the apparent ceasefire, the Iran-Israel conflict has shaped again the geopolitical landscape, involving U.S. actions under President Donald Trump influencing potential future trajectories. The conflict, which escalated in June 2025, began with Israel launching a surprise air campaign on June 13, targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and leadership, citing an imminent nuclear threat. Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes, leading to a 12-day air war.
The U.S. entered the conflict directly on 21 June’25, with strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, namely- Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, using B-2 bombers, though a U.S. intelligence assessment suggests these strikes only set Iran’s nuclear program back by months, not destroying core components.
