Iran war fallout puts 9 million Indian workers in the line of fire

AI Summary

short article 1 min

The ongoing conflict involving Iran has disrupted the sense of security for approximately 9 million Indian workers residing in the Gulf states. These individuals, located in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Manama, are now facing the reality that they are no longer insulated from regional conflicts. The increased frequency of missile alerts and interceptions has become a routine occurrence for some. Experts suggest this situation marks a shift from previous Gulf wars, challenging the long-held belief that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states would remain unaffected by crises in the Persian Gulf. The presence of Indian workers in the region makes them vulnerable to the potential fallout of the conflict.
