Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone discussion focusing on the conflict in West Asia and the necessity of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for global commerce. In a social media post, Modi stated that India supports de-escalation and the restoration of peace. The conversation, confirmed by the U.S. ambassador, marks their first since the war began. In domestic developments, India’s lower house of Parliament, the Lok Sabha, passed the Transgender Persons Amendment Bill 2026. The bill introduces significant changes to the 2019 law, replacing the right to self-perceived gender identity with a requirement for medical certification from a screening board. Opposition parties and activist groups have opposed the bill, calling it a regressive measure that violates human dignity. The legislation now awaits consideration in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament.
