BREAKING NEWS: India Just Executed The Most Sophisticated Geopolitical Manoeuvre Of The 21st Century And Almost Nobody In Western Markets Noticed

While the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to Western shipping, with Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd all suspending transit, India quietly revived Operation Sankalp.

Visakhapatnam-class stealth destroyers and frigates are now escorting Indian-flagged tankers through the strait under a selective passage regime negotiated directly between External Affairs Minister Jaishankar and Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi.

Two state-owned LPG carriers, the Shivalik and the Nanda Devi carrying approximately 92,700 metric tonnes of LPG, have already crossed Hormuz under Indian Navy protection. Iran is letting Indian ships through while blocking US-allied vessels.

Read that again. The strait is closed to the West. It is open to India.

This is not an accident. This is the product of a decades-long non-alignment strategy being deployed at exactly the moment it matters most.

India imports 40 to 50% of its crude oil and a significant share of its LNG through Hormuz. Energy security is existential. And India has no military pact with the United States.

No pact with Israel. No treaty obligation to join any coalition. No skin in a war it did not start.See more, details. .
