PM Modi Speech | "Situation Is Worrisome For India," Says PM On Iran-Israel-US War
The conflict in the West Asia has spawned a "severe energy crisis" across the world, and this is a matter of concern for India as well, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in parliament on Tuesday. Since the Iran war erupted at the end of February, Tehran has retaliated against US-Israeli attacks by throttling traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit for one-fifth of global crude, and by hitting Gulf energy sites and US embassies as well as targets in Israel. The Prime Minister acknowledged that the war, now in its fourth week, is impacting "our trade routes", thereby disrupting the routine supply of essential commodities such as petrol, diesel, gas, and fertilisers.
