The Strait of Hormuz Belongs to No Single Nation; Trump and Modi Discuss Over Phone, Emphasizing Security of Global Energy Supplies
First Trump-Modi Discussion Amidst Middle East Conflict; Keeping Hormuz Open is Imperative; US Opposes Iranian Instability
New Delhi/Washington, March 25, 2026: Against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict between the US-Israel alliance and Iran, US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held their first telephonic conversation. During this discussion, they engaged in a detailed exchange regarding the current situation in the Middle East and the critical issue of keeping the Strait of Hormuz—a vital artery for global energy supplies—open and secure.
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor stated that the conversation between Trump and Modi was extremely positive and fruitful. He remarked, "The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway. It is not the property of any single nation. No country can obstruct it or lay exclusive claim to it. It is imperative that this route remains open and secure at all times to ensure that global energy supplies remain uninterrupted."
A significant volume of the world's oil, gas, and other energy resources is transported through this waterway. This route is of paramount importance to the entire world, including India. Ambassador Gor accused Iran of attempting to foment instability in the region—actions that are unacceptable to the United States. He made it clear that any actions that could adversely impact energy prices and supplies must be prevented.
Following the discussion, Prime Minister Modi stated, "India supports the establishment of peace and the de-escalation of tensions. Keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, secure, and accessible to all is essential for the entire world."
This conversation between Trump and Modi marked their first direct interaction since the US-Israel alliance launched an attack on Iran on February 28. In the current situation, security concerns have heightened as numerous ships remain stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. Both leaders agreed to remain in contact regarding peace efforts.
Ambassador Gore stated that President Trump and Prime Minister Modi share a long-standing and close relationship. The United States regards India as a key partner, and a continuous dialogue is maintained on such global issues. He further clarified that, as the details of the discussion are private, not all information can be disclosed.
