In this episode of NDTV Loves Books, Gargi Rawat speaks to Colonel Rajeev Agarwal (Retd.) about his book "Between Tehran and Tel Aviv: Gaza's Story of an Unending War".
From the October 7 attacks to the widening conflict involving Iran, Israel and the US, Agarwal breaks down the key fault lines shaping West Asia today. He explains the missed warning signs before the war, Iran’s asymmetric military strategy, and why Israel’s tactical successes have not translated into a decisive victory.
The conversation also looks at what the conflict means for India and how the region's geopolitical landscape may be permanently altered.
