Jaishankar, Iran FM discuss safe passage of ships, energy security
India's foreign minister, S Jaishankar, just wrapped up three rounds of talks with his Iranian counterpart, focusing on keeping shipping lanes safe and energy supplies steady.
With tensions flaring in the region, especially involving Trump, Iran, and Israel, both countries are stressing how vital it is to protect trade routes.
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Iran foreign minister and India's Jaishankar have had three phone calls in recent days to discuss safe passage of ships, energy security.
India is working with regional partners to keep these routes
A large share of India's oil from the Gulf travels through the Strait of Hormuz—a key global chokepoint.
If anything disrupts shipping here, it could shake up global energy prices.
That's why India is teaming up with regional partners to keep these sea routes open and secure.
Plus, these talks highlight the long-standing partnership between India and Iran on regional stability and energy cooperation.
