]]> Former IMF official Gita Gopinath warned that India could face a major economic challenge if global crude oil prices rise to $140 per barrel. She said the ongoing West Asia conflict may increase fuel prices, inflation, and pressure on the Indian rupee. The Oil at $140 warning has raised concerns about India’s import costs and economic growth.

Gopinath explained that India depends heavily on oil imports from the Middle East. Supply disruptions may affect not only crude oil but also LPG, LNG, and fertilizers. She added that shortages could become a bigger issue than rising prices. The Oil at $140 scenario may also weaken the rupee close to 100 against the US dollar.

She advised policymakers to focus on inflation control, jobs, and support for vulnerable families instead of aggressively defending the rupee. However, she said India still has strong domestic demand and healthy forex reserves, so there is no need to panic.

]]> Reports about Iranian aircraft sheltered at Pakistani airbase have drawn global attention during rising tensions in West Asia. Some reports say Iranian military planes moved to a Pakistani base to avoid possible US airstrikes.

Sources claim the aircraft flew to Pakistan’s Nur Khan Air Base after tensions between the United States and Iran increased. The move reportedly aimed to protect the aircraft during the conflict.

Pakistan has strongly denied the claim. Officials said no Iranian military aircraft used Pakistani bases. They also said such activity would be easy to notice because the airbase lies near a busy city area.

The issue has raised fresh questions about Pakistan’s diplomatic position in the region. Analysts say the Iranian aircraft sheltered at Pakistani airbase reports may increase global scrutiny and political debate.
