Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he spoke with US President Donald Trump to discuss the Iran war and situation in the Strait of Hormuz, as a US blockade of the waterway risks exacerbating a global energy crisis.

Modi said the two “discussed the situation in West Asia and stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and secure,” in a social media post on Tuesday.
