Global Energy Shockwaves: India's Call for Peace Amid West Asian Tensions

Amid fresh attacks on gas hubs in West Asia, India has strongly condemned the violence, labeling the strikes as 'unacceptable'. This week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached out to leaders from Oman, France, and Malaysia, stressing the urgent need to restore peace in the volatile region.

The attacks, particularly Israel's strike on Iran's South Pars gas fields, drew intense retaliation from Iran, affecting energy infrastructure in several Gulf nations. New Delhi described these developments as 'deeply disturbing', noting that they exacerbate the already fragile global energy market.

With energy prices spiking to new highs, Modi emphasized the need for dialogue and the safe passage of resources, especially through the critical Strait of Hormuz. The Prime Minister reaffirmed India's commitment to peaceful navigation and regional stability.
