Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on Thursday spoke to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and informed him about the ongoing conflict in West Asia. “We value our special strategic partnership with India, the world’s largest democracy,” he said on the occasion. Saar said he briefed the Indian minister on developments in the Israeli operation against Iran. He said, “I said that the (Iranian) regime is carrying out naval terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz. This is not an American or Israeli issue, this is a fundamental problem affecting the global economy. If this serious incident is not addressed now, it could spread around the world.”
