And in any case, talks between the US and Iran on ensuring peaceful use of Iran’s nuclear energy had reportedly made considerable progress. The sole objective of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, once we ignore the ‘nuclear threat’ argument, was to bring about a ‘regime change’ there. Not protesting against such intervention opens up the prospects of a reversal of decolonisation, of a recolonisation of the Global South, where only those regimes that are acceptable to the US (and Israel) will be allowed to rule. Of course there would be no viceroys appointed from the White House, but local satraps who rule would be American puppets. It is in India’s interest to join him in resisting this push for a recolonisation of the Global South.
