The Tribune ki report ke mutabik inmein se teen maut Saudi Arabia mein hui hain. Jaiswal ne kaha ki India is sangharsh ko lekar gehri chinta mein hai aur Gulf mein rehne waale Bhartiya samudaay ki suraksha aur bhalaai ke liye unse lagaataar sampark mein hai.
Yeh sangharsh February mein US aur Israel ke Iran par hamlon ke baad shuru hua tha aur haal mein Yemen ke Houthi group ke Saudi Arabia par hamlon se aur bhadka hai. Report ke mutabik Houthis ne Saudi ki East-West tel pipeline par hamla kiya, jo Strait of Hormuz se shipping baadhit hone ke baad Saudi tel export ka ek ahem raasta ban gayi thi. Isse Red Sea ko Gulf of Aden se jodne waale Bab-el-Mandeb strait ki suraksha par bhi chinta badhi hai.
