Defense Veterans Back Greater Nicobar Project, Call It Crucial for India's Strategic Footprint Near Malacca Strait

Former IAF chief R K S Bhadauria and other defense veterans have come out in strong support of the Rs 92,000-crore Great Nicobar mega-infrastructure project, dismissing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's criticism as misplaced. The project, located at Campbell Bay and Galathea Bay, is strategically vital for India's military footprint and monitoring capabilities near the Malacca Strait—through which 80% of China's oil imports pass. The veterans warned that opposition to the project could inadvertently benefit China and undermine India's strategic leverage.

Indonesia's Malacca Strait toll proposal faces regional pushback

Indonesia's Finance Minister proposed imposing tolls on ships in the Strait of Malacca, aligning with President Prabowo's vision for Indonesia as a 'key player' globally. However, Indonesia's Foreign Minister quickly rejected the idea as inconsistent with international law, while Malaysia and Singapore insisted navigation must remain free. Analysts say tolls are unlikely due to strong Asean cooperation, though more can be done to ensure the strategic waterway stays open.

Chinese analyst says Mideast crisis has made world 'thinking about the security of shipping routes again'

A Chinese analyst says the Middle East crisis has made the world reconsider shipping route security. Iran's adviser to the supreme leader warned that any 'mischief' in the Strait of Hormuz would trigger a chain-reaction response in other critical lanes, including the Malacca Strait. Tehran declared another full closure of Hormuz just days before a fragile US ceasefire was due to expire.
