Finland Prime Minister Alexander Stubb has suggested that India could intervene in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US, which has cast a shadow on global energy and sent oil prices soaring.
In an interview on Bloomberg Television, Stubb called for a ceasefire between Iran, the US, and Israel and wondered if Europeans or India could aid that.
He highlighted how the three-cornered conflict makes things complicated and urged NATO allies to heed to US President Donald Trump's call on the Strait of Hormuz.
Stubb was referring to external affairs minister S Jaishankar's recent talks with his Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghchi after which some Indian-flagged ships were allowed passage through the key strait in the Persian Gulf.
The Finnish PM isn't the first to suggest that Indian intervention could ease the Iran-US conflict, as US energy secretary Chris Wright hinted that India might be able to help the US to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
