US President Donald Trump spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, focusing on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
PM Modi expressed support for de-escalation and restoration of peace at the earliest, while ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure, and accessible.
The conversation comes at a time when Trump has raised hopes that the US-Israel war on Iran could be winding down, with productive talks reportedly underway.
India has been in regular contact with several Gulf countries and the US, advocating for a solution through dialogue to resolve the issue.
With the death toll in the war rising to over 1,500 people in Iran, millions have been displaced in Lebanon, and 13 US military personnel have been killed.
Tehran has received points from the US through mediators, which are being reviewed, while Iran's foreign minister has been discussing the conflict with several countries.
