At least 8 Indian vessels have crossed the Strait of Hormuz despite the ongoing blockade. India is now among the countries with the highest number of ships using this route. The vessels carried LPG, crude oil, and fuel. Iran said “non-hostile vessels” can pass if they follow its rules. Ships linked to the US and Israel are restricted. Indian Navy warships stayed ready to support merchant vessels. The government also held talks with Iran to ensure safe passage. The strait remains tense after the conflict began in February. Iran has warned it may expand pressure to other key global shipping routes.
