Amid rising tensions in West Asia, India has stepped up diplomatic efforts to safeguard its strategic interests. External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar spoke again with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss regional developments and maritime security. The fourth call between the two leaders since the crisis began highlights India’s concern about the stability of the Strait of Hormuz.
