On Saturday, the Indian crude oil tanker Jag Arnav, carrying about two million barrels of Iraqi oil, was fired upon by the Iranian Navy north of Oman. This incident has heightened concerns about maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil shipments, where 20% of the world's crude oil transit occurs. The Indian Navy is currently investigating the attack, as there were no Indian naval ships present in the Strait at the time. Another Indian vessel, Sanmar Herald, was in the vicinity but was not targeted. India has a significant presence in the region, with multiple naval vessels stationed in the Gulf of Oman. The attack follows a temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz after a ceasefire agreement brokered by the U.S. between Israel and Lebanon. Iran has classified India as a friendly nation, allowing its vessels to navigate the strait while threatening others with military action.
