Amid the escalating war in the Middle East involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has announced restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, effectively closing the vital chokepoint to vessels from the United States, Israel, Europe, and their Western allies, with warnings that such ships "will certainly be hit." This move has disrupted global energy flows, as the strait handles a significant portion of the world's oil and gas shipments. Notably, passage remains open for non-Western shipping, including vessels from India, a development attributed to Tehran's appreciation for New Delhi's balanced diplomatic stance in the region. India's consistent engagement with both Iran and Israel, avoiding direct alignment in the conflict, has preserved its access amid the crisis. Social media users and online commentators have hailed this as a triumph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's diplomacy, praising India's strategic neutrality that safeguards its energy imports while many Western and allied nations face severe disruptions. The selective policy underscores shifting geopolitical alignments, even as broader concerns mount over potential oil shortages and rising prices worldwide. @thetrid.ent
