‘US ensuring global energy supplies’: Trump demands reimbursement for securing Strait of Hormuz

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday that India condemns the attacks on the energy infrastructure sites in the Gulf region and demands an immediate “need to cease” the strikes. Responding to media queries on the attacks targeting energy infrastructure, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “India had previously called for the avoidance of targeting civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, across the region.”“Recent attacks against energy installations in different locations across this region are therefore deeply disturbing and only serve to further destabilise an already uncertain energy scenario for the whole world. Such attacks are unacceptable and need to cease,” he added.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/iran-may-impose-toll-and-taxes-on-ships-passing-through-strait-of-hormuz-1773918080590">Iran may impose toll and taxes on ships passing through Strait of Hormuz</a>&nbsp;On the raging conflict in West Asia, which entered its 20th day on Thursday, Jaiswal said, “We’ve called for restraint. We’ve called for de-escalation. We’ve called for dialogue and diplomacy so that there can be an early end to this particular conflict.”&nbsp;Jaiswal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the Sultan of Oman, the President of France, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, and the Finnish President.“We have been talking to all sides.

This is being done while factoring in our own requirements, refining capacity, and diesel availability.”&nbsp;In his reply to a query on the status of Chabahar project, Jaiswal said, “The US side has given a guidance extending the conditional sanctions waiver for Chabahar port until 26th of April, 2026.
