India has initiated diplomatic engagement with Iran to ensure the safe passage of its ships through the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz.
The move comes after firing incidents involving two India-flagged vessels, raising serious concerns over maritime safety in the region.
The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that it is in constant contact with Iranian authorities to facilitate secure transit and protect Indian seafarers.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a crucial global chokepoint, handling a significant share of the world’s oil and gas shipments, making any disruption a major concern for India’s energy security.
Amid escalating tensions in West Asia, India is also closely monitoring developments while working to ensure stable fuel supplies and uninterrupted trade flows.
The situation highlights the growing importance of maritime diplomacy as geopolitical tensions threaten critical global shipping routes.
