‘India is a friend, the ship is safe from Hormuz…’ Iran’s ambassador gave great news amid the war, will the oil crisis end now?
New Delhi: Amidst the increasing tension in the Persian Gulf, a new example of friendship between India and Iran has come to light. Iran’s Ambassador to India Mohammad Fathali clearly indicated that Indian ships will get safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Describing India as a true friend of Iran, he said that the interests of both the countries are similar.
Important Comments of the Ambassador
Speaking to journalists, when Ambassador Fathali was asked about safe passage to India through the Strait of Hormuz, he replied in the affirmative. He said, "Yes, because India is our friend." He also indicated that good news in this regard may come soon, perhaps within a few hours.
The ambassador stressed that Iran and India share common interests in the region. The friendship between the two countries is old and it is based on cooperation.
Common interests and old friendship of both the countries
Fathali described India-Iran relations as strong. He said that the interests of both the countries are the same and the trust is also the same. India has helped Iran in difficult times, which the Ambassador mentioned. He said that in the war-like situation, the Indian government provided cooperation in various fields. This friendship is not limited to just words, but is based on practical help.
Global importance of the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is the most important sea route in the world. A large part of global oil and gas passes through here. India also imports a large part of its crude oil through this route.
Due to the ongoing conflict in the region, the threat to shipping has increased, which is affecting the energy market. It is very important for countries like India to keep this route safe, because any blockage here can have a negative impact on oil prices and supply.
Sign of relief for India
It is clear from these comments of the Ambassador that Iran gives special importance to India. Despite tension in the Persian Gulf, Indian ships can get safe passage. This is the result of strong diplomacy and mutual trust between the two countries. At a time when global trade is under threat, India-Iran friendship is proving to be a strong foundation for energy security.
