'Strait of Hormuz blockade unacceptable': PM Modi on West Asia crisis

The Prime Minister said that India is responding to volatility caused by Tehran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz - the narrow waterway that supplied the country 1.3 million barrels of oil and over 85 percent of its LPG, or liquified petroleum gas, daily needs pre-war. “India has opposed attacks on energy and transport infrastructure. Attacks on commercial ships and disruptions to international waterways, including trade through the Strait of Hormuz, are unacceptable. India is making continuous diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe movement of Indian vessels even amid the ongoing conflict.
