“One more ship. One more victory for Indian diplomacy”: A seventh India-flagged LPG tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz

Delhi: A seventh India-flagged LPG tanker, Green Sanvi, crossed the Strait of Hormuz amid the war on Friday. In a post on X, the Iranian consulate in Mumbai said India, and Gujarat in particular, held a “cherished place” in “our shared history”. The Consulate General was responding to a post by Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, who hailed the passage of the LPG tanker as a “victory for Indian diplomacy”.

The remarks were in response to Sanghavi’s post as the Green Sanvi, carrying 46,650 metric tonnes of LPG, headed home after crossing the key shipping chokepoint, which has been effectively closed by Iran since the war began. “One more ship. One more victory for Indian diplomacy,” the Gujarat Deputy CM tweeted.
