The author urges US policymakers to view India's role in the region beyond the prism of competition with China. Instead, they should consider India as an additional counterweight to Beijing, aligning with the Biden administration's shift toward recognizing the Middle East as an opportunity to contain China.


In conclusion, India's projection of power in the Middle East demands serious attention. While India may differ from the US and Israel on certain issues, it is unlikely to undermine Washington's interests like Beijing and Moscow have. India's ascent as a major player offers a new and captivating chapter in the region's geopolitical landscape.
