He warned that India will also have to pay the price of the war between Iran, America and Israel. The Congress leader said that due to this war, fuel will become expensive in India and economic growth will slow down.
Rahul Gandhi said, this war directly appears to be between America, Israel and Iran, but in reality it shows a trade strategic competition between America, China and Russia. Rahul said, America is trying to maintain its dominant position as a global power, while China is continuously moving forward and reducing the gap.

‘The situation will worsen due to increase in tension’
Rahul Gandhi said, Middle East is the world’s biggest center of energy production, now pressure on this supply is being increased. He said, the Strait of Hormuz is an important route for the world’s oil supply. Due to increased tension, its consequences will be felt far beyond this region.
‘India will have to pay the price’
Rahul Gandhi said, ‘When these powers are fighting among themselves, other countries will also have to pay the price. In particular, it will have the biggest impact on India, which is heavily dependent on energy imports from the Middle East.
‘Fuel will be expensive in India’
He said, a large part of the oil coming to India comes from this area. If tensions continue, there will be a reduction in energy supply, which will increase prices. Fuel will become expensive in India and the pace of economic growth will slow down.
‘We should clear our stand’
The Congress MP further said, ‘In such a situation, India should be very careful in its response. This is not just a conflict between Iran, Israel and America. This reflects a major global change. We are entering an era where such conflicts may occur more frequently. India has to understand that the world is entering a more unstable and dangerous period. Our policy position should be clear.
