Reports Differ on Whether Iran Will Allow India-Flagged Tankers Through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran agreed to allow India-flagged tankers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz after talks, amid 16 attacks on ships disrupting critical oil and gas shipments, officials said.
- Iran allowed India-flagged tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz after talks between External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Seyed 'Abbas Araghchi earlier this week, aiming to keep the route open for crude oil and natural gas.
- At least 16 ships have been attacked in the passage since late February, and those strikes have been lethal with Indian citizens among the dead.
- On Wednesday, a Thai vessel bound for Kandla port was attacked, prompting strong criticism from New Delhi as India's foreign ministry deplores targeting commercial shipping in West Asia.
- The near-closure of the route has forced India, the world's No.3 oil consumer, to scramble for alternatives such as buying more from Russia, while Tehran warned oil prices could surge to $200 a barrel.
- India's foreign ministry and the Iranian embassy in New Delhi did not immediately respond, while an unnamed Indian source declined to be named and an Iranian source pointed to sensitivity; a map showing the Strait of Hormuz was taken June 22, 2025.
