The discussions come as major economies assess potential responses to volatility in global oil markets following the conflict. Benchmark crude prices surged to nearly four-year highs on Monday before dropping sharply on Tuesday after Donald Trump said the Middle East war could end soon.

The G7 grouping includes the United States, Canada, Japan, Italy, Britain, Germany and France, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the forum.

Oil markets have been rattled by fears that the conflict could disrupt supplies from the Middle East, particularly shipments moving through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transit chokepoints.

Prices fell about 11% on Tuesday after Trump predicted the conflict might soon de-escalate, easing some concerns among traders about immediate supply disruptions.

Energy ministers from the G7 met earlier on Tuesday but stopped short of agreeing on a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. Instead, they asked the International Energy Agency to evaluate the situation before any collective action is taken.

U.S. officials are also considering measures to ensure continued oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, including naval escorts for commercial vessels and guarantees for war-risk insurance for tankers. The steps are aimed at reassuring shipping companies and preventing further disruptions to global energy supplies as tensions in the region persist.

The airline said the leadership change follows pressure stemming from widespread cancellations late last year that disrupted travel schedules and drew criticism from passengers and industry observers.

Bhatia said the scale of cancellations seen in December should not have occurred, according to remarks cited by the company.

IndiGo said Bhatia will manage the airline’s operations until a successor to Elbers is selected. The company did not immediately provide further details on the timeline for appointing a new chief executive.

Elbers, who previously served as head of Dutch carrier KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, had led IndiGo during a period marked by strong passenger demand but increasing operational and geopolitical challenges.

The airline has faced growing pressure this year as regional tensions and airspace restrictions affect flight planning and operational reliability.

Industry conditions have been further complicated by the broader crisis linked to Iran and restrictions on Pakistani airspace, developments that have forced airlines in the region to adjust routes and schedules.

IndiGo’s shares have also come under strain, declining about 13.5% so far this year, reflecting investor concerns about operational disruptions and wider uncertainty affecting the aviation sector.

The airline remains one of Asia’s fastest-growing carriers, operating an extensive domestic network and expanding international routes as demand for air travel in India continues to increase.

Iranian authorities cut internet access on Saturday after the start of the conflict involving the United States and Israel, triggering a nationwide disruption that has severely limited communication inside and outside the country.In a message posted on the social media platform X, NetBlocks said the blackout had exceeded 120 hours, with connectivity “still flatlining around 1 percent of ordinary levels.”connectivity nearly haltedThe prolonged shutdown has left many Iranians unable to make international calls or reliably connect online. Calls from overseas to Iranian mobile phones or landlines have become nearly impossible, according to residents contacted through intermittent messaging.Some users report brief windows during the day when limited connectivity allows them to send text messages, though voice messages and calls frequently fail to transmit.“The internet speed is very slow,” a resident in Tehran said in a message, requesting anonymity for security reasons. “You can’t call and voice messages don’t get delivered. We can just text.”NetBlocks said telecommunications companies in Iran had begun sending warnings to users attempting to connect to the global internet, threatening possible legal action.residents seek alternative accessWith regular connections largely unavailable, some Iranians have turned to alternative technologies to maintain limited communication.

According to residents, some users have attempted to access the internet through unauthorised subscriptions to satellite-based services such as Starlink, though availability and connectivity remain inconsistent.A resident in Bukan in western Iran described the connection as unreliable and extremely slow.“The internet situation here is abysmal,” the resident said in a message. “It connects and disconnects. The connection is slow, so the VPNs don’t work.”restrictions compound existing controlsEven before the current shutdown, many Iranians relied on virtual private networks to bypass restrictions on foreign social media platforms.Services such as Instagram are typically restricted in Iran, prompting widespread use of VPNs under normal conditions.With internet access severely curtailed, some residents who are able to connect briefly have been sharing updates with friends and family who remain cut off.Shima, a 33-year-old resident of Tehran, said she had been sending messages to friends describing conditions in the capital as waves of missile and bombing strikes hit the city during the ongoing conflict.
