Indian vessel crosses Hormuz amid US-Iran tensions
An Indian bulk carrier, APJ Priti 2, safely transited the Strait of Hormuz carrying 65,000 MT of fertiliser, following recent maritime incidents that heightened regional tensions. This transit occurred amidst ongoing US-Iran diplomatic efforts, including a temporary US sanctions waiver on Iranian oil sales. However, Iran asserted that passage through the Strait is only permitted via routes approved by Tehran, rejecting parallel routes and demanding adherence to the 14-point MoU terms for safe passage. The situation reflects conflicting claims regarding maritime access and geopolitical maneuvering in the region.
