Today, the Middle-East region is exposed to a new set of challenges, threats and an uncertain future with ruling Saudi Wahhabi regime funded jihadi forces like Islamic State of Iraq and Syria/Levant (ISIS/ISIL), a predominantly Sunni Arab militia letting loose a reign of terror to overthrow ‘pro-Shia’ ‘un-Islamic’ regimes in Iraq and Syria, thus threatening the very regional stability of Middle-East itself.
India cannot but be affected by these sudden turn of events with ‘Shia Iran’ rushing to aid the Shia majority Iraq and Syrian regimes, even by joining hands with its ‘Great Satan’ - the US. If ISIS/ISIL came to control the oil refineries and oil wells there, then energy supplies from Iraq to Kuwait stretch will be stopped. Kuwait might be its next target. India, being a net energy importer from Middle-East region, thus, will be badly hit.
