India evacuates over 550 nationals from Iran via Armenia: Jaishankar

India has evacuated over 550 of its nationals from Iran through Armenia, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar thanking Yerevan on Monday for facilitating the land-border transit. New Delhi has been urging Indian nationals stuck in Iran to cross over to Armenia for subsequent travel to India in view of the escalating conflict in West Asia. "Thank the Government and the people of Armenia for facilitating the safe evacuation of over 550 Indian nationals from Iran so far," Jaishankar, currently on a visit to Brussels, said. "Appreciate their support in these challenging times," he said on social media. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said last week that around 9,000 Indians were staying in Iran, and the government of India is assisting those who want to travel to Azerbaijan and Armenia for their subsequent return to India.

Iran hits Gulf neighbours, chokes oil shipping as energy crisis fears grow

Explosions echoed across Beirut early Monday as Israel struck the Lebanese capital. It also launched a new wave of attacks on Tehran, while Dubai was forced to temporarily close its airport after an Iranian drone hit a fuel tank. Since being attacked by the United States and Israel more than two weeks ago, Iran has been regularly hitting Israel, American bases and its Gulf Arab neighbours' energy infrastructure with drones and missiles. It has also effectively stopped shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil is transported, giving rise to growing fears of a global energy crisis and putting pressure on Washington as consumers are already feeling the pain at the pump. Brent crude, the international standard, remained stubbornly over USD 100 a barrel on Monday. It was at USD 104 in early trading, up nearly 45 per cent since the US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. It has spiked as high as about USD 120 during the conflict. President Donald

Iran war: SECL ready to meet India's coal demand amid energy disruptions

SECL, the second largest coal producing arm of Coal India Ltd, on Monday said it is prepared to meet the country's coal demand, including the power sector's requirement, amid the evolving global energy dynamics. The ongoing war in West Asia has disrupted global energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz, raising the costs of imported coal and LNG, which indirectly pressure India's coal and power sectors. South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) Chairman and Managing Director Harish Duhan told PTI that the company continues to maintain strong operational momentum. During the current financial year, the company has achieved around 165 million tonnes of coal production and over 169 million tonnes of coal dispatch up to mid-March, ensuring a steady supply to power plants and other consumers.

Why France is boosting military presence in West Asia as Macron eyes talks

France's government is bolstering the country's military presence in the Middle East, dispatching its aircraft carrier and other warships, while President Emmanuel Macron engages with key players in the conflict, including Iran, in a bid to position Paris for future diplomatic talks. Macron said that France's military involvement is strictly "defensive" and aims to avoid making the country a party to the war. He reaffirmed that position after one French soldier was killed Thursday in a drone attack in Iraq. "We are not at war with anyone," Macron said. Still, the large-scale deployment of the French navy - which he described as "unprecedented" - has made France the European nation with the most prominent presence in the region. Visiting the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier last week, Macron said that its presence in the Mediterranean demonstrates "France's strength: a balancing power, a force for peace." Here's what to know about Macron' strategy. France's large naval ...
