LPG tanker Shivalik escapes Hormuz but Iran sets shocking condition for 22 more

India is negotiating with Iran to ensure safe passage for Indian-flagged and India-bound vessels through the Strait of Hormuz as tensions in the Gulf disrupt global shipping routes. According to sources, Tehran has asked New Delhi to release three tankers seized by Indian authorities earlier this year as part of a potential arrangement to allow safe transit for Indian vessels.

Oil Spike to $119 FIZZLES After Trump Suggests Iran War Nearing End

Global oil prices experienced a sharp drop of nearly 9% after President Donald Trump signaled that the ongoing US-Iran conflict may be approaching a resolution.

Trump Downplays Oil Crisis During Iran War Says Surge Will Be ‘Short-Term’

Trump Downplays Oil Crisis During Iran War Says Surge Will Be ‘Short-Term’

Oil markets are reeling after a dramatic surge in crude prices following rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. US President Donald Trump has defended the spike in global energy costs, calling it a temporary sacrifice in the broader push to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capability and safeguard long-term global security. As crude prices surge to levels not seen since 2022, global markets are feeling the pressure. U.S. oil futures have crossed the $108 per barrel mark while Brent Crude Oil has jumped sharply, reflecting investor fears of deeper supply disruptions across the Gulf region. Despite the economic turbulence, Trump insists the short-term pain is necessary if it leads to a nuclear-free Iran and long-term stability in the region. Critics, however, warn that sustained energy price spikes could weigh heavily on global growth, consumer spending and already fragile supply chains. WATCH... [Read More]
