On reports of Iran allowing Indian tankers to transit through the Strait of Hormuz, the Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said, Indian Foreign Minister and the Iranian Foreign Minister discussed India’s energy security in their recent call on Wednesday.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, during the weekly press briefing, did not confirm the reports of Iran allowing India-flagged ships to transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
“External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar and the Foreign Minister of Iran have had three conversations in recent days. The last one discussed issues pertaining to the safety of shipping and India’s energy security. Beyond that, it would be premature for me to say anything,” said Randhir Jaiswal.
This is a developing story.
