MEA summons Iranian envoy Dr Mohammad Fathali after India-flagged tanker shot at near Hormuz: Report
- On Saturday, India summoned Iranian Ambassador Dr. Mohammad Fathali to protest firing on two Indian-flagged vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the supertanker carrying Iraqi oil to reverse course.
- Iran reimposed "strict military control" over the Strait on Saturday, alleging "repeated breaches of trust" by the United States and citing the continued American blockade of Iranian ports as justification.
- Maritime reports indicate Iranian Revolutionary Guard gunboats fired on the supertanker, likely the Sanmar Herald, while a separate container ship was hit by an unknown "projectile" 25 nautical miles Northeast of Oman.
- Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri conveyed India's "deep concern" during the meeting with Ambassador Fathali, urging Iran to "resume at the earliest the process of facilitating India-bound ships" through the waterway.
- About 20% of global petroleum supply passes through the Strait, which remains a focal point of the ongoing US-Iran standoff; the waterway's status remains uncertain while Tehran demands the blockade end.
