Discussion on West Asia and Key Shipping Route

The leaders also discussed the situation in West Asia. Narendra Modi stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and secure. This route is critical for global energy supply. Any disruption here can impact many countries, including India.

Third Conversation This Year

This was the third time Narendra Modi and Donald Trump spoke this year. They first spoke on February 2 to discuss progress on a trade deal. They talked again on March 24 to review the situation in West Asia after tensions increased following US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.

Talks Between US and Iran End Without Breakthrough

The latest call happened soon after fresh talks between the United States and Iran ended without any agreement.

Both countries held around 21 hours of direct discussions in Islamabad. However, they failed to reach a solution, which has raised concerns over the fragile two-week ceasefire.

US officials said the talks failed because Iran refused to give up its nuclear programme. On the other hand, Iran blamed the United States for disrupting the negotiations but did not give detailed reasons for the disagreement.
