This is new India. In the rapidly changing world order, today India is seen moving forward in the role of 'world friend'... When PM Narendra Modi says this, it has its own meaning. It is the growing stature of India that despite not having veto power in the United Nations, the world is also looking towards India for the solution of the global crisis. Be it the Russia-Ukraine war, the oil crisis, the Israel-Hamas conflict or the recent Red Sea tension. If we look at the events of the last 24 hours, it can be understood how active India's global diplomacy is. 

Sensation at sea: At present, there is a danger of attack by Houthi rebels on commercial ships passing through the Red Sea. These rebels are from Yemen who have also received the support of Iran. In protest against Israel's attack on Gaza, Houthis are seen targeting it and its allied countries in the Red Sea. In response, America and UK have also attacked Houthi positions in Yemen. It is inevitable that there will be an impact of tension in the Arabian Sea adjacent to India. In such a situation, in the last 24 hours, PM Narendra Modi, sitting in Delhi, had even called the President of Russia. On the other hand, in Tehran his 'Missile Minister' Foreign Minister Jaishankar was meeting the President of Iran and his counterpart. 

Jaishankar bluntly in Iran: After going to Tehran, Jaishankar has clearly said that the security of the Red Sea is important and the current maritime threat needs to be dealt with quickly. The Red Sea-Suez Canal route is one of the busiest trade routes in the world. India has also had to change the routes of ships and 95 percent of the ships are being sent via the Cape of Good Hope. Due to this, along with the increase in freight freight, the travel time has also increased. On the other hand, Qatar has clearly refused to send LNG tankers through the Red Sea. It is feared that this decision may increase the cost of bringing LNG. 

America, India, Iran Active: Jaishankar has told the leadership of Iran that attacks on ships around India are a matter of grave concern for the international community. He has also said that such threats have a direct impact on India's energy needs and economic interests. He has gone to Tehran at a time when just four days ago he had discussed the Red Sea crisis with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on phone.
