Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking assistance from the Iranian government for cooking fuel, a crucial step in balancing long-standing alliances with urgent economic needs. Two shipments of LPG, which is used as cooking and vehicle fuel, have already arrived in India and more are likely in the coming days. This comes as Iran continues to allow fuel-laden ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow bottleneck between Iran and Oman. Meanwhile, U.S. and Israeli airstrikes continue to target the Islamic Republic, while the Iranian military launches attacks on targets across the region. The Indian government is looking to negotiate safe transit of around 30 ships, potentially leading to a backlash at home due to a national shortage of gas. However, global oil prices have also been hit by attacks on fossil fuel infrastructure and potential price spikes for food and consumer goods.
