\"\"New Delh: India\u2019s energy crisis has intensified due to the Modi government\u2019s failed diplomacy and duplicitous policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, at least 18 Indian-flagged vessels are reportedly stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of worsening fuel shortage across India.<\/p>\n

Indian television channel NDTV confirmed that the vessels are carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG).<\/p>\n

Iranian authorities have warned that only ships from friendly countries, after proper coordination with Iranian officials, will be allowed safe passage.<\/p>\n

Global experts caution that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has effectively paralyzed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global trade. The blockage has intensified India\u2019s fuel shortage, particularly of LPG, exposing the vulnerabilities caused by Modi\u2019s pro-Israel stance and poor planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
