India Slams Attacks on Gulf Energy Sites, Urges End to West Asia Crisis
India strongly condemns the attacks on energy infrastructure in West Asia, as they pose a threat to vital LNG and fertilizer supplies.
New Delhi (India) March 19:India has expressed serious concerns about the recent surge in attacks on energy infrastructure in the Gulf, viewing it as part of the escalating conflict in West Asia. This statement follows Iran's retaliatory strikes on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait, which came after Israel targeted the South Pars gas field, one of the largest gas fields in the world.
“India had previously called for the avoidance of targeting civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, across the region. Recent attacks against energy installations in different locations across this region are therefore deeply disturbing and only serve to further destabilise an already uncertain energy scenario for the whole world. Such attacks are unacceptable and need to cease,” said the official statement by the Ministry of External Affairs.
