US-Israel Iran War Live: Oil Tanker Hit Near Strait of Hormuz; 15 Indian Crew Among 20 Rescued
US-Israel Iran War Live: Oil Tanker Hit Near Strait of Hormuz; 15 Indian Crew Among 20 Rescued Breaking visuals show a Palau-flagged oil tanker ablaze near the Strait of Hormuz following reported Iranian strikes. All 20 crew members were evacuated, including 15 of Indian origin. The Strait of Hormuz — a critical maritime artery through which nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes — is witnessing unprecedented disruption. Maritime sources indicate hundreds of vessels are currently loitering outside the corridor as tensions escalate. Security alerts have intensified across Gulf nations including Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The US Fifth Fleet, headquartered in Manama, is also reportedly on high alert. For India, the stakes are enormous. The UAE is India’s third-largest trading partner, and millions of Indians live across the Gulf region, sending back billions in remittances annually. With crude already rising sharply, analysts warn oil could spike toward $100 if the waterway remains blocked. Is this economic warfare? Or the beginning of a much larger regional confrontation? #straitofhormuz #iran #oiltanker #breakingnews #indiancrew #gulfcrisis #oilprices #middleeast #bahrain #qatar #uae #indianews #globaltrade control your money with economic times now. #etnow #businessnews #budget2026withetnow YouTube Channel - / @etnow Subscribe To ET Now For Latest Updates On Stocks Market News , Business News, Company News, IPO & More | https://bit.ly/SubscribeToETNow Subscribe Now To Our Network Channels :- ET Now Swadesh: / etnowswadesh Times Now: http://goo.gl/U9ibPb Social Media Links :- Twitter - http://goo.gl/hA0vDt Facebook - http://goo.gl/5Lr4mC Website - https://www.etnownews.com Follow us on Google News for latest updates ET Now: https://news.google.com/publications/...
