India<\/strong> presses for safety of ships and energy security with Iran: <\/strong>Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasizing that the safety of Indian nationals, the uninterrupted transit of goods and energy remain India\u2019s priorities, as per a post on X<\/a>. This was Modi's first conversation with Iran\u2019s leadership and came hours after India\u2019s External Affairs Minister spoke with his counterpart. <\/p>\n

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi have held multiple conversations in recent days<\/strong>, with their latest exchange focusing on maritime shipping safety and India\u2019s energy security, according to India\u2019s Ministry of External Affairs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Diverging views? <\/strong>Iran\u2019s foreign ministry maintained<\/a> that disruptions to shipping in the Gulf were the result of what Tehran described as \u201caggressive and destabilising actions\u201d by the US. <\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>The back to back outreach comes as New Delhi engages Tehran on ensuring the movement of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, with officials seeking to secure passage<\/a> for tankers carrying crude oil, LPG and LNG bound for Indian buyers. India says it would be \u201cpremature\u201d to comment on reports that India has secured permission<\/a> for its ships to cross the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n

Consular monitoring: <\/strong>New Delhi is also tracking the safety of Indian nationals in Iran. Around 9k Indians \u2014 including students, seafarers, businesspeople, professionals and pilgrims \u2014 are currently in the country. India has relocated several citizens from Iran to safer locations via land routes crossing into Azerbaijan and Armenia, from where they can take commercial flights home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
