Statecraft With Geeta Mohan: Modi's Indonesia Visit Delivers India's Biggest Strategic Victory

India is no longer just exporting products—it is exporting strategic influence. In this episode of Statecraft with Geeta Mohan, we examine how Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Indonesia marks a major shift in India's global role. From the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and Astra missile agreements to discussions on exporting India's Electronic Voting Machines and linking cross-border QR payment systems, the India-Indonesia partnership is expanding far beyond traditional diplomacy. As Jakarta embraces Indian defence technology, digital public infrastructure and institutional expertise, New Delhi is positioning itself as a trusted strategic partner in the Indo-Pacific. The second story takes us to Iran, where the much-discussed regime-change strategy has produced an unexpected outcome. Months after the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Islamic Republic has not collapsed. Instead, massive state funerals, an orderly leadership transition and renewed national unity have strengthened the regime's position. Even many Iranians who oppose the government rallied behind the country in the face of foreign military action, reshaping the political narrative. From India's growing geopolitical influence in Southeast Asia to Iran's resilience after war, this episode explores two defining trends in global politics: the rise of strategic partnerships and the limits of military-led regime change.
