In light of escalating tensions in West Asia, the Iranian Embassy in India has issued a reassuring message to Indian nationals, stating that they are 'in safe hands.' This assurance comes as Iran asserts its control over the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared the waterway under its 'full and decisive control,' dismissing proposals from US President Donald Trump to reopen the route. Furthermore, Iran's Parliament has approved a new management plan for the Strait, which includes a toll system for vessels and restrictions on ships from the US and Israel, as well as countries imposing sanctions on Iran. This development highlights Iran's efforts to project stability while navigating the ongoing conflict with a US-Israeli coalition.
