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

Indian workers in the Gulf are facing heightened anxiety and uncertainty due to escalating tensions between Iran and the GCC states. Missile strikes and drone attacks have shattered the illusion of safety, prompting fears of disruption to their livelihoods. The crisis has led to flight cancellations, airspace closures, and stranded workers, with many unable to return home or relocate permanently. Remittances from the Gulf, which are crucial for economies in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, could be impacted by the conflict's prolonged nature.
