India and Iran do have a civilisational and strategic partnership which had fallen into disuse due to the consistent US pressure through CAATSA and bilateral negotiations
There is no doubt that Iran is pivotal to security and stability in the Middle East (West Asia). The Israel-Hamas war has once again proved it even though it is often concluded by many analysts and experts that both Tehran and the political leadership of Hamas were kept in the dark by the Hamas Military leadership steered by Yahya Sinwar before undertaking the unprecedented 7 October terror attacks which led to the killing of over 1,200 Israeli civilians along with 240 hostages. Hamas in a report did admit to some mistakes. Of course, even if somewhat miffed Tehran regime came out in support of their protégé Hamas which got engaged in existential warfare with Israel and the synergy of their objectives was obviously against the ultra-rightist-run Jewish state.Advertisement
Iran has an asymmetrical advantage given its 3H +KH+ SM expanse in the Arab world that includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria; Houthis in Yemen and Hamas in Gaza as well as Kataib Hezbollah and several other Shia militias in Iraq. These have an umbilical relationship with Tehran but do not necessarily take all orders from them which has been evident from Hamas and Houthi attacks and escalations in Palestine and the Red Sea respectively.
