New dispute on the Strait of Hormuz, know what big condition Iran has placed before India?

A new diplomatic dispute has emerged between India and Iran amid increasing tension in the Middle East. According to the report of international news agency Reuters, Iran has put a clear condition before India that if India wants safe passage for its ships through the Strait of Hormuz, then first the Iranian tankers seized by India will have to be returned.

According to the report, Iran says that Indian agencies had recently seized some Iranian tankers on charges of illegal maritime activities. After this action, Iran has demanded the immediate return of these tankers. Besides, Iran has also raised the issue of supply of essential medicines and essential goods from India.

According to sources, at present many Indian ships are stranded around the Strait of Hormuz. This sea route is considered one of the most important oil and gas supply routes in the world. A large part of India’s energy needs come through this route, so any kind of stress here can affect India’s supply chain.

Let us tell you, the Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and is also called the lifeline of global oil trade. In such a situation, if the movement here is affected, it can affect the international markets as well as India’s energy security.

Experts believe that the current situation can become a challenge for India at both diplomatic and strategic levels. On one hand, India has to ensure the security of its ships and energy supplies, on the other hand, it is also important to balance relations with Iran.
