Iran has responded after two Indian vessels came under fire in the Strait of Hormuz on April 18, raising fresh concerns over maritime security. The ships — Sanmar Herald, carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil, and Jag Arnav, loaded with urea — came under fire amid heightened tensions in the region. New Delhi 'called in' the Iranian ambassador, urging Tehran to ensure safe passage for India-bound vessels. Iranian Supreme Leader's representative in India, however, stressed that ties with India remain 'very strong' and highlighted ongoing diplomatic engagement between the two countries. The incident comes as Iran continues to restrict transit through Hormuz in response to a US naval blockade, adding further uncertainty to global energy flows and regional stability.
