The Iran Imbroglio

The USA and Israel have launched a massive strike in Iran killing the supreme leader Khamenei. In retaliation Iran has been attacking US military bases scattered in the Middle East. With air-space in Arab countries, Israel and Iran closed, a terrible turmoil has set in. Khamenei had been discredited by his own countrymen for obstructing the quest for liberty from draconian laws but his death is being mourned especially by Shias all over the world who perceive him to have been unfairly blamed by the USA. The crisis seems to grow with time and the whole world waits for a rapid resolution of the conflict which is expected to have long-term repercussions. India has to do a subtle balancing act between its three "friends" -Iran, Israel and USA.
