India is facing a potential LPG supply crisis as tensions escalate in the Middle East following military actions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held urgent meetings with Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to assess the situation and secure India`s energy supply. The disruption of shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz has raised serious concerns for India, which imports nearly 62 percent of its LPG requirements.

Sri Lanka is facing a delicate diplomatic crisis after a US submarine torpedoed the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena near the southern port city of Galle. The attack occurred within Sri Lanka’s Exclusive Economic Zone and killed at least 87 Iranian sailors, leaving survivors and bodies to be handled by the island nation. Reports say the United States has urged Sri Lanka not to repatriate survivors from the sunken warship and also asked Colombo not to send back the crew of another Iranian naval vessel, IRIS Booshehr, which is currently in Sri Lankan custody.
