India clarified that it is not engaged in bilateral talks with the US about ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Amid global tensions, India calls for de-escalation and stresses continued discussions with stakeholders, while maintaining ongoing dialogues with Iran for Indian vessels.

India has confirmed it is not involved in bilateral discussions with the United States regarding the protection of maritime vessels traversing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global shipping lane.
