Narendra Modi and Donald Trump held their first call since the February 28 strikes on Iran triggered conflict, focusing on West Asia tensions and global supply risks. Modi stressed de-escalation and ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure, and accessible. India has intensified diplomatic outreach to Iran, Israel, GCC nations, and the US to stabilise the situation. Concerns centre on disruptions to fuel, food, and fertiliser supplies. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has engaged multiple counterparts. While avoiding direct involvement, India continues maritime security operations to safeguard shipping and maintain critical supply chains.
