At the United Nations General Assembly, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar warned that the Gulf conflict is imposing costs on countries far from the fighting, while those most affected often have little say. He condemned attacks on commercial shipping and seafarers and called on all parties to de-escalate, protect civilians, and keep energy and trade moving. Jaishankar also cautioned that conflict and geopolitical tensions are disrupting global supplies of food, fuel, fertilizer, and finance, and urged international efforts to address the wider fallout. He reiterated India’s opposition to terrorism and its support for a two-state solution and humanitarian assistance for Palestinians.
