More and more reports like these are emerging,
Modi did meet Netanyahu in Cyprus just two days after the Pahalgam incident, and again recently just before this Iran conflict.
Wild guess on Indian strategy,
India, with it's own superpower ambitions, knew Russia is getting left behind a bit, feared the rise of China, ditched Russia to join the NATO-Israel nexus.
This nexus required India to pass some tests as initiation into the club. 1. An attack on Pakistan to weaken it, and show NATO that India can hinder Chinese interests in the region, prevent Pakistan from supporting Iran in anyway, as well as bring Pakistan's nukes back into the spotlight (for removal); and 2. Ditch previous agreements with Iran and instead use those developments for espionage and sabotage operations for the benefit of Israel.
Messing up #1 angered NATO enough to shower Pakistan with praise, kick India out of G-7, and humiliate it on the international level in many ways. While #2 succeeded, or atleast initially as they all seem to be getting rounded up now by Iran.
I think the coming days will tell how much India succeeded, gauged by Western interactions with India.
Sigh, just how incompetent do you have to be to get bested by Indian covert ops?
