Despite the blockade, two Indian-flagged LPG carriers, \u2018Shivalik\u2019 and \u2018Nanda Devi\u2019, carrying over 92,000 tonnes of gas, successfully navigated the strait and are now en route to India. This safe transit is being hailed as a major diplomatic victory for New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar credited the success to robust diplomatic dialogue, noting that he held four rounds of telephonic conversations with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi. Jaishankar emphasized that no special concessions or deals were made; rather, the passage was granted based on the long-standing, strategic relationship between India and Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the situation remains fluid. With several other Indian vessels still in the region, the Indian government continues to engage with Tehran to ensure their safe passage. The Strait of Hormuz facilitates 20% of global oil shipments, and its closure has triggered widespread concerns over energy security. India has prioritized gas supplies for domestic and transport sectors to mitigate the impact of the disruption. While industrial sectors may face temporary challenges, India\u2019s proactive engagement has successfully prevented a potential energy crisis for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amidst the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, the Strait of Hormuz\u2014the world&#8217;s most critical maritime chokepoint\u2014was declared closed by Iran due to security threats.
