Iran and India's relations have become extremely tense! Foreign media reports state that Iran has refused the request of 22 Indian ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz! On March 20, according to foreign media, Iran refused to allow 22 Indian ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, Iran also demanded that India return three Iranian ships it had detained. Foreign media stated that in February this year, when India tried to reach a major trade agreement with the United States, it detained three Iranian oil tankers.

India detained these tankers, claiming they "hid their identity". Now, 22 Indian ships are stuck in the warm waters of the Strait of Hormuz, with 611 Indian nationals on board. Among them, six vessels carry liquefied petroleum gas, and 90% of India's liquefied petroleum gas imports come from the Gulf countries. Obviously, India's treatment by Iran is closely related to India's own position.

The US and Israel attacked Iran, but India did not utter a single word of condemnation. After Iran retaliated, India stood on the side of the Gulf countries and even condemned Iran. Before the conflict broke out, Indian Prime Minister Modi visited Israel specifically, and after the conflict, India also leaked the location information of Iranian warships to the US and Israel. Obviously, India's actions were intended to please both sides, but in Iran's view, India is increasingly standing on its opposite side.

Naturally, Iran will also retaliate against India. Iran not allowing Indian oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz is a warning to India, telling India that it needs to pay for its own actions. Of course, this method of Iran will be very uncomfortable for India, because India has a low self-sufficiency rate of energy and is highly dependent on imports from the Middle East. However, India acted unjustly first, and Iran retaliated later, so India may have no choice but to find a way to calm Iran down.
