Oil price may increase due to Israel-Iran war, India will face a big blow

New Delhi. Two wars are already going on in the world and there are sounds of a third war. On the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, Iran suddenly fired 200 missiles and drones at Israel. At the same time, US, UK and France together with the Jewish country foiled these attacks. Talking about the market, some movement was seen in the markets of Israel and Saudi Arabia. According to the information, Israel has not suffered any major loss in these attacks by Iran. A 10-year-old girl was confirmed injured and a military base suffered minor damage.

Let us tell you that earlier Iran had carried out an air strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria. A top commander of Iran was also killed in this air strike. Only after this Iran was threatening to attack Israel. Amidst this war environment and only after the air strike in Syria, the price of Brent reached above $ 90 per barrel. At the same time, experts say that if there is a face-to-face war between Israel and Iran, then these prices will reach more than $ 100 per barrel. Israel’s currency has also fallen to its lowest level this year.

India is worried

It is natural for every country to be worried about this movement in the market in an environment of war. The increasing tension between Iran and Israel may have an impact on India as well. India imports 80 percent of its oil needs from outside. Arab countries have a major stake in this. If oil prices increase at the international level, it will definitely affect India also. At the same time, increasing oil prices may affect the country’s growth rate. Apart from this, fiscal deficit may increase.

India says that regional peace and security is at risk due to the increasing enmity between Israel and Iran. India said that there is a need to restore peace by resolving this dispute through dialogue. The Embassy of India is in touch with Indians who are living in Iran and Israel. The Foreign Ministry said, the increasing tension between Israel and Iran has harmed the peace of the region. The Ministry of External Affairs is keeping an eye on the situation in West Asia.

Let us tell you that India is also included among the big oil importing countries of the world. India imports most of its oil from Central Asia. India also has good trade relations with Israel. If war starts, many countries of Central Asia may come along with Iran. In such a situation, an attempt can be made to put pressure on India also. Anticipating these crises, India had increased oil imports from Russia. India had imported 35 percent of oil from Russia in 2023. According to Reuters report, crude oil prices may increase in the international market from April 15 itself. According to the report, oil prices have increased by 71 cents in a single day.
