The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Saturday summoned the Iranian ambassador to India to lodge a formal protest after two Indian-flagged tankers were fired at by Iranian forces near the Strait of Hormuz, say people familiar with the matter.
The Iranian envoy, Dr Mohammad Fathali, was summoned by the MEA for a meeting at 6:30 PM. He met the MEA joint secretary for the Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran desk.
