The escalating tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel, coupled with Iran's threats of unconventional warfare, are causing significant disruption in international energy markets and global economic stability.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar of India and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation to discuss the evolving security situation in West Asia, bilateral relations, and regional issues.
