Strait of Hormuz Standoff: Why India Cannot Afford to Look Away
BBC News·Wednesday, 24 June 2026
Dozens of ships moved through the Strait of Hormuz after a US-Iran deal, with 42 ships passing on Saturday alone. Iran had weaponized the waterway, and experts say it is now looking to charge fees to vessels seeking to transit it. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iran that no country can charge fees for ships passing through the strait.
Why It Matters
India imports a large share of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz, so any disruption — or new tolls — would directly hit fuel prices and the broader economy.
