US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi held their first discussion since the West Asia conflict began on February 28, focusing on the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. Both leaders emphasized that the waterway must remain open, secure, and accessible, as it handles 20 million barrels of crude oil daily and 20% of global LNG trade. India, which imports 80-85% of its crude oil, recently deployed Navy warships to escort LPG tankers Jagvasanth and Pine Gas through the region. While Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif offered to mediate the conflict, Iran’s foreign ministry denied any ongoing negotiations with the US, citing previous diplomatic betrayals. External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar addressed energy security with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Iranian officials. As the war enters day 25, Prime Minister Modi has established seven special task forces to manage the crisis, amid reports of potential US military mobilization involving Marine expeditionary units and the 82nd Airborne.
