Good news has come amid the Iran-America-Israel war. Iran has given permission to two Indian ships to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz. These ships are transiting between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. This is a big relief amid the increasing oil shortage in India because since the start of the war, most of the ships are stuck there and the traffic has almost stopped. With the release of these two ships, the oil shortage in India will end to some extent. It is noteworthy that India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar had spoken in Iran this morning.
Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz
According to media reports, Iran allowed two Indian ships (Indian flagged) to pass. Earlier, a Liberian flagged tanker, which was carrying Saudi crude oil and whose captain was an Indian, passed through Hormuz two days ago and reached Mumbai Port. This was the first ship to India which was able to transit safely after the war.
Iran has clearly said that it has control over the Strait of Hormuz. IRGC commander Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said, ‘If any ship wants to pass through Hormuz, it will have to take permission from Iran, otherwise it will have to face attack.’ He mentioned two ships named Express Rome and Mayuri Nare, which tried to pass by ignoring the warning and became victims of the attack.
