New Delhi (HRNW)- During rising tensions in the Middle East, concerns have emerged regarding India’s position on oil shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Reuters, discussions between the Indian and Iranian foreign ministers included criticism of US actions against Iran, with the Iranian side emphasizing the impact of US policies on regional instability.
Reports suggest that Indian sources claimed Iran had granted permission for an oil tanker to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. However, no official confirmation from Iranian authorities has verified any such formal agreement, leaving the matter unclear.
Analysts say the situation highlights complexities in India’s diplomatic approach. Some experts argue that while India maintains relations with the United States and Israel, it also appears to engage with Iran in ways that support its strategic interests. They note that in the past, India scaled back involvement in the Chabahar project following US pressure.
Experts further state that seeking permission for passage through an international waterway raises broader questions about diplomatic consistency and foreign policy strategy.
