[Iranian Navy Guides Indian Oil Tanker Through Strait of Hormuz] BlockBeats News, March 21: According to a senior official onboard the vessel, the Iranian Navy recently guided an Indian liquefied petroleum gas tanker through the Strait of Hormuz over the past week. Following diplomatic mediation by New Delhi, the ship was able to pass through on a pre-approved route. This statement appears to confirm analysts' views that Tehran is attempting to enforce traffic control in the strait, allowing friendly vessels to pass safely while making other ships wary of potential attacks. The official stated that during the passage through the strait, the vessel maintained radio communication with the Iranian Navy. The Iranian side recorded the ship's flag, name, port of origin, port of destination, and the nationality of the crew (all crew members were Indian) and guided them along the pre-agreed route. (Jin10)
