Iran war could reshape alliances, strengthen US-India ties: Adelle Nazarian

At the India Today Conclave 2026, geopolitical consultant Adelle Nazarian said the ongoing US–Iran war is accelerating shifts in the global order and could strengthen US–India ties while pushing Gulf nations closer to the West. While no one benefits from the war at a human level, she said the conflict is reshaping geopolitical alliances. Nazarian also said many Iranians are frustrated with economic struggles and increasingly supportive of a more democratic, non-religiously aligned leadership, adding that any real change will ultimately depend on the Iranian people and possibly decisions within the IRGC.
