Ndian vessels ‘fired at by Iran’s navy’
Two Indian vessels have been forced back out of the Strait of Hormuz after shots were fired by Iran’s navy, according to Iranian state media.
It said one of the vessels was an Indian-flagged VLCC supertanker carrying two million barrels of Iraqi oil.
According to audio recordings captured of the incident, the captains of the ships insisted they had been given clearance to cross the strait.
However, the Iranian navy told tankers that no more vessels were allowed to sail through the maritime passage, according to Reuters
