The congressman said both US and Iranian objectives have largely been achieved, making continuation of the conflict detrimental to global interests.Tharoor told news agency ANI, “I am publicly calling on the government to come forward to demand an end to this conflict. I think both sides have clearly reached a point where they are not doing anybody any good. The Americans have said they have hit all the targets they wanted to kill. At the same time, the Iranians have had success in being able to maintain their regime and propel themselves forward. I think That between the two of them, that should be enough.”Tharoor further warned that instability in the region is impacting the wider world, particularly through disruption of vital supply routes.He said, “The world is suffering. We have real problems getting supplies, oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz. The entire region should not be held hostage to this particular conflict. I think the conflict must end.”The current round of conflict in West Asia began with the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, sparking fighting between Israel and the United States on one side and Iran on the other.The conflict escalated after the 86-year-old leader was killed in joint military strikes by the US and Israel. Iran responded by targeting Israeli and US assets in several Gulf countries and Israel, disrupting the Strait of Hormuz and affecting global energy markets and economic stability.Because of the conflict, Iran has effectively restricted movement through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.However, Iran’s supreme leader’s representative in India, Abdul Majid Hakim Elahi, had earlier said that Indian ships would be allowed to pass through the strategically important waterway. He said the Iranian leadership was aware of the expressions of sympathy of the people in India and was conscious of India’s energy needs.Meanwhile, an Indian LPG carrier, Nanda Devi, arrived at Vadinar port in Gujarat’s Jamnagar on Tuesday carrying 46,500 metric tonnes of LPG for ship-to-ship transfer after successfully transiting the Strait of Hormuz.On Monday evening, Indian carrier LPG Shivalik arrived at Mundra Port carrying 46,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas. Of this, 20,000 MT will be offloaded at Mundra, while the remaining 26,000 MT is scheduled for Mangalore.
