Indian foreign minister to visit Iran amid regional maritime tensions

Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar will visit Iran on a two-day trip following air strikes by British and American forces in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. 

A government statement said Jaishankar would meet his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian to discuss "bilateral, regional and global issues" without giving further details. 

Jaishankar's visit comes a month after a drone attack near a ship close to Indian waters that the United States blamed on Iran.
