Big revelation related to Hormuz created sensation, Iran itself made Indian ships cross!
Amidst the ongoing tense situation with America, Iran has imposed strict controls on oil and gas ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. In the last few days, it stopped the movement of many foreign ships, and even incidents of targeting and sinking some ships came to light. Now the news of relief for India came when last week two LPG tankers were allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz safely. Now a big revelation has come to light in this whole matter.
Did Indian ships get help from Iran?
According to a senior official, the ships that recently transited this route had received direct assistance from the Iranian Navy. After talks and diplomatic efforts at the level of New Delhi, these tankers were allowed to pass through the pre-determined safe route. During the voyage, the ships remained in constant contact with Iranian authorities and proceeded under their surveillance.
According to reports, Iran obtained various types of information from these ships, such as their flag, name, departure and destination ports and nationality of the crew. They were instructed to proceed only after confirming all the information. This indicates that Iran is establishing a kind of control mechanism on this important sea route, under which it gives relief to its friendly countries, while others remain at risk.
What do experts think?
Experts believe that Iran is allowing only selected ships to pass through this route. Its strategy behind this is to put pressure on the global energy markets and strengthen its position. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important oil routes, through which a large part of the global oil supply passes.
Since the start of the war, there have been drone and missile attacks on many ships in the region, which has increased concerns about maritime security. Due to these incidents, ship insurance has become expensive and there is also a rise in the prices of oil, gas and other essential commodities. Apart from this, the possibility of landmines being laid in this waterway has made the situation more serious.
