Modi Condemns Attacks on UAE and Calls for Opening of Strait of Hormuz

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned attacks targeting the United Arab Emirates, amid ongoing military escalation in the region stemming from tensions with Iran.

Modi explicitly called for opening the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring freedom of maritime navigation and international trade through it, a stance reflecting India's deep concern over any disruption to this vital passage through which a significant portion of New Delhi's oil imports flows.

The Indian Prime Minister's remarks come in the context of escalating tensions in the Gulf region, as relations between Iran, the United States, and its regional allies have reached severe levels, which directly impacts international shipping routes and global energy markets.

The UAE holds a pivotal place in India's strategic and economic partnership, making any threat to its security and stability a matter of considerable concern for the New Delhi government.
