India resumes Iranian energy imports after two-week ceasefire, Strait of Hormuz reopens

India has resumed crude oil and liquified natural gas imports from Iran following a two-week ceasefire in the Iran war, with Delhi calling for unimpeded trade through the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway's closure severely disrupted India's energy supply, as approximately 50 percent of its crude oil and most of its liquified gas normally transit through this critical chokepoint. India was forced to rapidly diversify its energy sources during the blockade, exposing the vulnerability of global energy markets to regional conflicts. The reopening of Hormuz shipping has significant implications for global oil prices and energy security, particularly for Asia-dependent nations.
