Modi says India is trying to reduce impact of US-Iran war

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India is working relentlessly to lessen the impact of the war between the United States and Iran. He stressed a focus on dialogue and diplomacy following a U.S. action that sank an Iranian warship.

Modi's position has drawn criticism from India's political opposition and put him in a difficult spot politically. Reports say he is walking a fine line between the two warring nations as the conflict begins to affect India's economy.
