External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar held a detailed telephone conversation with Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of Iran, on Tuesday to discuss the latest developments in the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
Sharing details of the discussion on the social media platform X, Jaishankar posted, “A detailed conversation this evening with Foreign Minister @araghchi of Iran on the latest developments regarding the ongoing conflict. We agreed to remain in touch.”
The call reflects India’s ongoing diplomatic engagement as tensions remain high in the region.
The ongoing conflict refers to the intensified hostilities in West Asia, including reported military actions such as US strikes on Iranian assets and broader regional confrontations involving the United States and Israel.
These developments have raised global concerns over regional stability, energy supply disruptions and the safety of civilians and expatriates living in the region.
India has consistently called for de-escalation, restraint, dialogue and diplomacy while focusing on the protection of Indian nationals and ensuring stable energy supplies.
Jaishankar’s post also highlighted the agreement between both sides to maintain close communication, underlining the importance attached to bilateral relations despite the volatile regional situation.
India and Iran share longstanding ties, including cooperation in trade, energy and connectivity initiatives such as the development of the Chabahar Port.
The latest conversation comes as New Delhi continues to adopt a balanced diplomatic approach, expressing concern over recent developments and advocating dialogue to prevent a wider regional conflict.
Earlier interactions between the two ministers in February and early March had also focused on the evolving situation in West Asia and the need to ensure civilian safety.
While no further details of the latest discussion were disclosed publicly, the agreement to remain in touch indicates continued engagement at the foreign minister level as India closely monitors the crisis and works to safeguard its interests.
