'Critical geopolitical issues discussed...': NSA Doval meets US’ Sergio Gor amid Middle East crisis

Amid escalating global tensions, U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The duo held what Gor referred as a “fruitful meeting, covering critical security & geopolitical issues” on March 18. Taking to X, Sergio Gor shared key insights from the high-profile meet, adding that strategic cooperation between US & India continues to advance. The crucial meeting came amid rising uncertainty over mineral supplies triggered by the Iran war. With 18 days and counting the US-Israel joint strikes against Iran have fuelled a geopolitical roller coaster. Following full-scale US-Israel offensives, Iran moved to shut the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a major global oil crisis. The ongoing war has caused widespread destruction & chaos in the Middle East with no ceasefire in sight.
