Two Indian ships cross Strait of Hormuz as Iran says it allowed passage
AI Summary
Amidst a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following attacks on Iran by the US and Israel, two Indian-flagged tankers carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) safely crossed the Strait en route to India. The passage was confirmed by both Indian and Iranian officials, with Iran's ambassador to India stating that Tehran made a rare exception to the blockade for some Indian vessels. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for global oil and LNG supplies, and the blockade has caused cooking gas shortages in India. India sought exemptions from the blockade, and Prime Minister Modi discussed the transit of goods with the Iranian President. The Indian government has also invoked emergency powers to maximize LPG production and prevent shortages.
