Global energy security hinges on Strait of Hormuz access. PM Modi and President Trump emphasized the critical importance of keeping the waterway open during their recent call, as approximately one-fifth of the world's energy supplies transit through this vital corridor. Iran's selective blockade has created significant supply pressures, particularly impacting Asian markets including India. Modi has engaged in intensive diplomatic efforts over the past ten days, including discussions with Iran's President Pezeshkian, to ensure unobstructed passage for energy shipments and protect global shipping routes. Trump extended his initial ultimatum to Iran from forty-eight hours to five days, citing productive conversations toward resolving West Asia tensions. India has successfully negotiated passage for several of its tankers through diplomatic channels.
