Three Indian oil tankers, carrying over 8.6 lakh metric tonnes of cargo and 94 crew members, have successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz and are heading home. This safe passage follows a US decision to lift its blockade on Iran, allowing resumed movement through the vital waterway. The government assures continued efforts to protect India’s maritime and energy interests, with the vessels expected to reach Indian ports next week.
