PM Modi Speaks To Iran’s Pezeshkian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday, condemning attacks on critical infrastructure in the Middle East and stressing the need to keep regional shipping lanes open and secure. The conversation comes as the Iran conflict continues to disrupt energy routes and raise concerns for Indian nationals in the region.
Modi Speaks To Iran President Pezeshkian
Modi said he had spoken with Pezeshkian and discussed the situation in West Asia at a time of rising regional instability. The call highlights India’s effort to remain diplomatically engaged with key regional players as the conflict affects maritime trade, energy supplies and the safety of citizens abroad.
India Stresses Open And Secure Shipping Lanes
A key part of Modi’s message was India’s concern over attacks on critical infrastructure and the importance of keeping shipping lanes open and secure. This is especially significant for India because major energy and trade flows pass through vulnerable routes in the region, including the Strait of Hormuz. Any disruption there directly affects Indian imports, freight costs and broader economic stability.
Iran Assures Safety Of Indian Nationals
Modi also said he appreciated Iran’s continued support for the safety and security of Indian nationals in Iran. That aspect of the call reflects India’s focus on the welfare of its citizens amid the ongoing crisis. With conflict risks still high, the safety of Indians in the region remains an important part of New Delhi’s diplomatic engagement.
The phone call signals India’s attempt to balance strategic concern, citizen safety and economic interest as the conflict in West Asia continues to widen.
