In an exclusive interaction with Times Now on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Delhi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi gave a key assurance for India — stating that Tehran has always ensured the safety of Indian vessels, including commercial ships, despite ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Indian ships have been attacked during the US-Iran conflict, and the country’s seafarers have been abducted by pirates. Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for keeping the sea routes safe for seafarers, highlighting their critical contribution to global trade, proposing a ‘Seafarers’ Emergency Support Network’ as part of his broader address at the 18th BRICS Summit.
