Indian foreign minister S. Jaishankar has also spoken to his counterpart in Iran about the security of India’s security interests in the region and stability.
India is facing an acute shortage of LPG and oil, striking common people heavily.
The cargo ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz are being targeted by the drones, missiles, and suicide boats, raising concerns over the security of the busiest trade line of energy.
