Exclusive: Iran lets two gas tankers sail to India through Hormuz, sources say

NEW DELHI, March 13 (Reuters) - Iran has allowed two Indian-flagged liquefied petroleum gas carriers to sail through the Strait of Hormuz, four sources with direct knowledge of the matter said, a rare exception to the Iranian blockade that has disrupted global energy supplies.
The Indian-flagged LPG tanker Shivalik crossed the Strait under escort from the Indian Navy, said two of the sources, and the second vessel, Nanda Devi, was expected to clear in the next few hours.
Since the United States and Israel launched a bombing campaign on Iran, Tehran has largely halted traffic through the strait, which runs past its coast and normally supplies around 20% of global oil and seaborne liquefied natural gas.
Iran has said it will not permit any supplies for the United States or its allies to leave the strait, but India has sought exemptions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday he had spoken to Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian and discussed the transit of goods and energy from the Gulf.
India has also given safe harbour to 183 Iranian sailors from a vessel that docked after the war broke out. The vessel was one of three that had participated in exercises in India; one of the others was sunk by a U.S. torpedo off Sri Lanka.
India is reeling under its worst gas crisis in decades with the government cutting supplies for industries to shield households from any shortage of cooking gas.
Shivalik and Nanda Devi are owned by state-run Shipping Corp of India.
Shivalik, which had arrived in Qatari waters on February 25, last reported its position on March 12 as within the exclusive economic zone waters up to 24 miles off the United Arab Emirates, according to tracking data on MarineTraffic.
Nanda Devi was last seen on Friday in Iranian waters close to the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz, according to MarineTraffic data. It had called at Qatar’s Ras Laffan anchorage on February 27 before sailing to UAE waters, the data showed.
Separately, a crude tanker is expected to arrive in India on Saturday carrying Saudi Arabian oil after sailing through the Strait around March 1, according to two of the sources and data from Lloyd's List Intelligence.
The Liberia flagged Smyrni crude oil suezmax tanker, which can carry a maximum capacity of 1 million barrels, is expected to arrive at an Indian port for state refiner Hindustan Petroleum Corp.
India's foreign ministry, navy, Shipping Corp and HPCL did not respond to Reuters emails sent out after business hours.
India consumed 33.15 million metric tons of cooking gas last year, with imports accounting for about 60% of demand. About 90% of those imports came from the Middle East.
On Thursday India said 24 Indian-flagged vessels were stuck in the Gulf area past the narrow strait.

More likely they are heading to Kuwait to launch it from there? Maybe Bahrain, but that maybe too far from the Iranian coastline.
The Alternative idea is that the soldiers are for Lebanon, to help Israel occupy more land ?!?

Unit of 2500 marines is a lot, we have seen in movies that US Marines are like superhuman, like DC and Marvel heros..
With complete air and naval superiority, Surely Iranian forces are dead already or they may surrender as soon as first marine touches his super foot at karj island..

I think you don´t know the idiosincracy of persian people.
Motivated like japanese in Guadalcanal... but with the geography of Peloponnese and for sure with logistical support of China and also Russia, the size of half EU and a confined waterway. What can be wrong?.

Another bluff from Zionism and Trump, while the US and Israel are getting a beating. We all know it's impossible to put 2,500/5,000... however many soldiers there are on the border of Iran; before they even get there, they'll be killed. Iran is a worse version of Afghanistan; it's just mountains, tunnels, and bunkers. To invade Iran requires 300,000 soldiers for 20 years, and you risk losing.
NOTE: As the outcome moves towards defeat, more bluffs and bravado will emerge, including:
- over 700 Americans dead
- over 12 planes shot down (media says Kuwait shot one down accidentally, one crashed in Iraq, another "disappeared")
- all American bases in the Middle East attacked and there's nobody there
- Israel totally hit, which is why Netanyahu banned any filming or photography

It's funny.
USA doesnt fail in America continent, but it fails repeatedly in Eurasia.
Maybe it's not a fail, it's just trolling and fcking Eurasia economies in the daylight as they keep order near home.
In fact, it's pretty easy, they just protect own interests, own continent and FCK everybody else.
Like any sane state would do when China become a problem, and availability of cheap energy and raw materials.
USA just do what any declining empire would do, taking advantage of their influence to fck everybody else and take a good position in new world order.

If I did, do you really think I would share that here?
However, it's not hard to do some research. From there you can get an approximate idea as to how many troops are currently in theater along with what could be moved and ready to fight in 18 hours.

FYI for people that don’t know this is the MEU USS Tripoli
It’s not some dudes on rafts invading Iran lol.
They got a decent chance of setting up a beachhead around Chabhar (not inward in the actual Persian gulf since that’s too dangerous).
The Russians were also able to grab deep inside Ukraine in the early days. The key is can they hold whatever they take and what are the casualties.

That's a fair comment and I admit I don't. Been many years since I was around Persians on a near-daily basis.
The Japanese were indeed fanatical. Yet, at the end of the day, the US won. That is a fact.
You're confident of logistical support from China and Russia outside of targeting data currently being provided by Russia?
I appreciate your optimism.
