Amid the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, eight Indian vessels have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint responsible for nearly 20% of global oil and gas trade. The latest vessel, the LPG tanker Green Sanvi, crossed the strait today, with two more vessels, Green Asha and Jag Vikram, expected to follow soon. Despite Iran's blockade, which it claims is targeted at certain nations, it maintains that the waterway is open to 'friendly nations' like India, Russia, China, and Pakistan. Over 15 Indian-flagged vessels with approximately 485 Indian seafarers are still in the Gulf as tensions continue. The Indian Navy has been deployed in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea to ensure safe passage for these ships. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) asserts full control over the strait and has introduced a new management plan that includes tolls and restrictions on vessels from the US and Israel, emphasizing Tehran's sovereign authority over the route.
