We need iran and israel as much as gulf states. Why would we put all our eggs in one basket.

They don't really like that approach.

The Arab Gulf states expect India to reconsider its soft approach towards Iran and be more forthcoming on the UN economic sanctions. This wishy-washy India does not make for a credible partner in the post-America world.

The question is what role does India want to play in Gulf security? How does it intend to contribute to regional stability? Unfortunately, India remains deliberately ambiguous on the elusive formula for Gulf security. This ambiguity is not fitting of a future power.

At a time when India needs Gulf oil the most, it has decided to go too far in its strategic relationship with Israel. Not a very wise choice for once-principled India that seems to have lost its soul as it pursues superpower status.

They hate Iran, they hate Israel, and they also want some kind of security from India. I don't see why India needs to go further than simple business deals.

No strings attached.

He himself is not telling us specifically what role India should play!
Deliberately? its a misnomer.
Was india asked from GCC to provide any security related cover?
NO....
