On April 29, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi engaged in a phone conversation with India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to discuss the ongoing West Asia crisis. This call followed Araghchi's recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Jaishankar confirmed the detailed conversation on social media, emphasizing the importance of maintaining close communication between the two nations. The Iranian embassy in New Delhi noted that the dialogue covered the latest developments regarding the ceasefire, bilateral relations, and broader regional and international issues. Key topics included the US's blockade of Iranian ports and Iran's restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi's diplomatic efforts are part of ongoing attempts to resolve the conflict, which intensified after a US-Israel attack on Iran on February 28, resulting in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several commanders. The first round of peace talks between Iran and the US, held in Islamabad earlier this month, did not yield a resolution. Recently, US President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely to allow for further negotiations.
