US President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, focusing on the evolving situation in the Middle East. According to US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, the leaders highlighted the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open amid rising regional tensions.

The discussion comes shortly after Trump described recent US engagements as “very good and productive,” expressing optimism about a possible resolution to ongoing hostilities in the region. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical global oil route, making its security a key concern for world leaders.

Meanwhile, reports have emerged suggesting Pakistan is attempting to position itself as a mediator in the US-Israel-Iran conflict, adding another dimension to the ongoing diplomatic efforts surrounding the crisis.
