Strait of Hormuz Crisis: What India Needs to Watch Closely
NYT > World News·Thursday, 23 July 2026
The US carried out another wave of strikes on Iran overnight, marking a 12th consecutive day of attacks, with Iranian state media reporting hits near the province housing Iran's only operating nuclear power plant. Trump threatened to destroy Iranian bridges or power plants for every attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker ships travelling to and from Saudi ports have already started making sharp U-turns due to Houthi shipping threats in the region.
Why It Matters
A huge share of India's oil imports passes through the Strait of Hormuz — any disruption to shipping there can drive up fuel prices across India almost immediately.
