PM Modi, Pezeshkian and Putin together offered a striking visual of India's independent foreign policy at a time of deepening geopolitical fault lines. In the Modi-Pezeshkian bilateral, India stressed dialogue, diplomacy, maritime security and safe passage for energy supplies, while Iran warned against US aggression and disruption to global trade. From West Asia to energy security, the message from New Delhi was clear: India will engage with multiple powers while remaining guided by its own national interests.
