Amid the Oil crisis emerging from the Iran war with US-Israel, a massive crude oil tanker has successfully reached Mumbai after navigating the highly dangerous Strait of Hormuz during the escalating Iran-US-Israel conflict. The Liberia-flagged Suezmax tanker Shenlong, captained by an Indian, carried nearly 1 million barrels of Saudi crude oil and safely docked at Mumbai Port. The vessel became the first first crude carrier to reach India from the Middle East since the war began in late February. Indian sources say Iran assured safe passage for Indian-bound vessels after high-level diplomatic talks, though Iranian officials have denied any formal agreement.
