India's liquefied petroleum gas imports are running short due to the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran, which has resulted in increased gas prices for India's gas imports. Restaurants like Abhishekh Dixit, who has been serving stuffed flatbreads for over a century, rely on gas cylinders to keep the stoves hot and keep customers fed. The war and subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz have significantly impacted Asia, which heavily relies on oil and related product exports through the Gulf. Many workers stranded on tankers in the Persian Gulf are Indians who have been unable to return home. The Indian government has assured people that there is plenty of supply, but has seen panic-buying and increased prices.
