New Delhi: India has summoned senior Iranian diplomats to express its concerns following the recent attack on merchant vessels operating in the Gulf region. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) conveyed New Delhi’s strong concerns over the incident, which has heightened tensions along one of the world’s busiest maritime trade routes.
According to officials, the MEA emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and security of commercial shipping and urged all parties to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation. The attack has raised fresh concerns over maritime security and the uninterrupted movement of global trade through the region.
During the diplomatic meeting, Indian authorities reportedly sought clarification regarding the circumstances surrounding the attack and reiterated the country’s commitment to safeguarding international shipping lanes. India also stressed the need to uphold international maritime law and maintain peace in strategically important waters.
The latest development comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where recent military actions and security incidents have increased risks for commercial vessels.

Security agencies and shipping operators have been advised to remain vigilant as governments around the world assess the impact of the incident on regional stability and global supply chains.
The Ministry of External Affairs is expected to continue engaging with regional partners and international stakeholders to ensure the safety of Indian interests and maintain secure maritime navigation in the region.
