Iran Tensions And India’s Stakes: Lisa Curtis Explains US Strategy And Fallout

In an interview with India Today’s Marya Shakil, Lisa Curtis, Director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, analyses the escalating tensions in Iran and their wider implications for India. Curtis explains that while US President Donald Trump publicly encouraged Iranian protesters to seize institutions, Washington is likely to prioritise economic sanctions rather than military action to avoid domestic and international backlash. She notes that the continuation of the US “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran could directly affect India’s strategic and economic interests, particularly its engagement with the Chabahar port project, which remains crucial for regional connectivity and access to Afghanistan and Central Asia. Increased sanctions and tighter enforcement could complicate India’s trade and logistical plans involving Iran. Despite these challenges, Curtis remains optimistic about the broader India-US relationship. She highlights recent diplomatic momentum, including the arrival of US Ambassador Sergio Gore and high-level engagements between External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The discussion also covers cooperation in defence, energy, and emerging technology initiatives such as the Pax Silica group. Curtis underscores that even with unresolved trade frictions, India continues to be a critical swing state for the United States in an increasingly volatile global order. #iran #indiainiran #usiran #indiusrelations #chabaharport #indoPacific #geopolitics #foreignpolicy #usforeignpolicy #trumpiran #maximumpressure #indiatrade #defencecooperation #energysecurity #paxsilica #strategicpartnership #globalpolitics #internationalrelations #indiatoday #worldnews #indiatodayglobal India Today Global is an India-based news channel that serves as an international arm of India's prominent media organization.
