Background

The Week has continued to supply domestic Indian context for the country's Iran-conflict diplomacy. It reported Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's cancellation of a planned Tehran visit on 21 May 2026, hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio named any Hormuz toll system an absolute red line for a deal. A month earlier it covered India's Ministry of External Affairs engagement with Tehran after Iran seized the tanker Epaminondas, and India's prolonged silence on related OFAC designations of Indian shipping firms.

Founded in 1982 and published by Malayala Manorama from Kerala, The Week covers national and international news, politics, and business. It is one of India's leading English-language weekly publications with broad distribution across the country.

The magazine's Iran-conflict coverage provides domestic Indian framing that Western wire reporting, which leans on MEA statements and foreign-ministry briefings, tends to miss, particularly on how New Delhi balances Gulf energy dependence against its strategic-autonomy diplomacy.
