Iran-Israel Conflict: How It’s Reshaping South Asia | India, Pakistan, and the New Cold War

What does the Iran-Israel war mean for South Asia? In this episode of Unraveled, Marvi Sirmed examines how the latest Israeli airstrikes on Iran and the ensuing retaliation are sending shockwaves across the region — from Pakistan and India to Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. As South Asia becomes a critical theater in the US-China rivalry, the episode dives into: India’s growing alignment with Israel and the US Pakistan’s delicate balancing act between Washington, Beijing, and Tehran How the fragile Pakistan-India ceasefire (or “pause,” as Modi calls it) could unravel The role of Gulf states and Jordan’s air defense in aiding Israeli aggression The shifting positions of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives, and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan Why the so-called “Muslim Ummah” remains complicit through silence Marvi Sirmed also calls out the deep hypocrisies of global powers — from the US shielding Israeli aggression to Muslim regimes failing Palestinians and Iranians. At a time when South Asia could once again be dragged into proxy wars and militarism, Unraveled makes a powerful anti-war, pro-Global South stand. Watch now and share your thoughts in the comments.
