In a major diplomatic shift, Britain has taken the lead to resolve the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz through dialogue. Defying Washington\u2019s call for military intervention against Iran, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has invited representatives from 35 nations, including India, for a high-level meeting in London. India’s Foreign Secretary has already departed to participate in these crucial deliberations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes shortly after US President Donald Trump remarked that countries affected by the blockade should manage the situation using their own strength. This international friction follows Iran\u2019s decision to effectively shut down the Strait on March 2, halting nearly 20% of the world\u2019s oil transport. The International Energy Agency has warned of a severe global fuel crisis by April if the deadlock persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that India is maintaining constant communication with Iran and other West Asian nations. India\u2019s primary focus remains the safe passage of vessels carrying essential commodities like LPG and LNG. Strategic diplomacy has already yielded results, with at least six Indian ships successfully navigating the Strait recently. As the world watches the tension between the US and Iran, New Delhi remains committed to a peaceful, diplomatic resolution to safeguard its economic interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
