Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar spoke with external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Thursday and briefed him about the ongoing conflict in West Asia. “We value our special strategic partnership with India, the world’s largest democracy,” he said on X. Sa’ar said he briefed the Indian minister on developments in Israeli operation against Iran. “I said that the (Iranian) regime is carrying out naval terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz. This is not an American or Israeli issue, it’s a fundamental problem affecting global economy. If this grave phenomenon is not addressed now, it could spread worldwide,” he said.
