Iran fires on ships in Strait of Hormuz as Tehran imposes curbs again

The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade of Iranian ports. The strait is closed until the US blockade is lifted, Iran's Revolutionary Guard navy said Saturday night, warning that "no vessel should make any movement from its anchorage in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, and approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered as cooperation with the enemy" and be targeted. New attacks on the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil normally passes, threatened to deepen the global energy crisis and push the countries into renewed conflict as the war entered its eighth week. A fragile ceasefire is due to run out by Wednesday. Iran said it had received new proposals from the United States, and Pakistani mediators were working to arrange another round of direct negotiations. Iran'

SEC, Adanis seek extension, propose new briefing schedule in US case

The US Securities and Exchange Commission and Indian businessmen Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani have jointly requested a US court for more time to file key submissions in a civil securities case, proposing a revised schedule for motions and responses. In a filing before the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the parties said they had conferred in line with the court's April 7 directive and agreed on a new timeline, which has been submitted for approval to Judge Nicholas G Garaufis. The SEC had sued Adani Group founder Gautam Adani and his nephew, Sagar, in November 2024, alleging they had misled investors by failing to disclose an alleged bribery scheme tied to Indian state officials, framing the case under US securities laws. Denying all allegations, the two, through their lawyers, on April 7, filed a pre-motion letter ahead of a planned April 30 motion, seeking dismissal of a fraud lawsuit, arguing the case represents an impermissible extraterritorial applicatio

LPG bookings edge toward normal as summer season eases demand

Cooking gas LPG demand is inching towards normalcy as domestic supplies increased as onset of summer chips away demand, a senior official said on Friday. With the war in West Asia disrupting global energy supplies, cooking gas availability in India, too, was impacted. Following this, the government prioritised supplies to domestic household kitchens by cutting supplies to commercial establishments such as hotels and restaurants. The cuts spark panic, prompting even domestic consumers to rush to secure LPG refills. Daily bookings exceeded 88 lakhs at peak last month as against pre-crisis bookings of about 45 lakh a day. Efforts to raise domestic output by diverting petrochemical pools into LPG production, led to a 40-50 per cent rise in output, prompting restoration of some of those supplies. At a news briefing, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said daily bookings are in the range of 46-50 lakh currently. "Deliveries are normal. Yesterday
