Attack on Indian oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s navy fired indiscriminately at the ship. Due to this attack, the two ships finally retreated. After this attack on the Indian ship, New Delhi is angry. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Iranian ambassador to India for an explanation of the entire incident. All in all, the pressure on this incident has started to increase.
It is known that Jag Arnav and Sumner Herald were returning with fuel from Iraq. The ships had 2 million barrels of oil in their stomachs. The Iranian navy attacked the two ships in a surprise attack on the coast of northern Oman. According to sources, the ship named Jag Arnav was damaged due to the attack. But the Summoner’s Herald was unharmed. The two ships were forced to retreat under attack. Currently, no Indian ships are present in the Strait of Hormuz. In this situation, the government is trying to find out the details of the incident. However, India has two destroyers, a frigate and a tanker in the Gulf of Oman.

However, the Indian government is not taking this attack lightly at all. The Ministry of External Affairs has expressed concern over the attack on the Indian ship in Hormuz. According to sources, besides condemning this incident, efforts are being made to find out the exact reason for the attack. Mohammad Fatali, Iran’s ambassador to India, has been summoned.
It should be noted that a new conflict between America and Iran has started over Hormuz. US President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon on Thursday. Iran then decided to open Hormuz to all commercial ships on Friday. Trump said on social media, ‘Iran is ready to open the Strait of Hormuz permanently. They will not stop it, and will not use this system as a weapon against the world.’ However, even if Iran opens Hormuz, America will continue the blockade. In turn, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that Washington had failed to keep its promises. Despite Iran’s opening of the Hormuz, the US continues to blockade the waterway. Tehran has made it clear that Hormuz will remain closed until the US guarantees the free passage of all ships bound for Iran. In the midst of this damadol, the Indian ship was attacked.
