US-Iran-Israel war: India holds 25 days of crude reserves, no fuel price hike planned, say sources

New Delhi: Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, government sources on Tuesday said that India has 25 days of crude oil and refined oil stocks. Sources also said there are no immediate plans to increase petrol and diesel prices despite global oil prices rising sharply due to geopolitical tensions. Brent crude price has reached near USD 80 per barrel -  roughly 10 per cent more since the Iran crisis - and is expected to rise further as the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoints, has been shut by Iran. For India, higher prices means…

US Diplomat reveals why Iran was targeted: ‘460 kg of uranium, enough for 11 bombs’

New Delhi: The joint US-Israel attack on Iran came after Tehran insisted it had the “inalienable right” to enrich uranium. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that Iran had secretly stockpiled 460 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, enough for about 11 nuclear bombs. “The Iranians told us directly… they could make 11 nuclear bombs,” Witkoff said. He added that talks in Geneva had failed because Iran was determined to continue its nuclear and ballistic missile programs while supporting military groups like Hezbollah. What the US and Israel wanted? Witkoff said the US sought three main goals in…

IAEA confirms damage at Iran’s Natanz nuclear site amid ardent strikes by Israel and US

Tehran: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed structural damage at Iran’s nuclear site in Natanz, following a review of the most recent satellite images. The UN nuclear watchdog said the damage appears to affect buildings at the facility’s entrance, Aljazeera reported. In a statement, the agency said there were no signs of radiation leaks and no further impact on the main underground enrichment plant. It noted that the facility had already suffered heavy damage during last year’s 12-day conflict, when Israel launched strikes against Iran. The United States also carried out attacks during that period, targeting Natanz and…

Why the Strait of Hormuz matters: How global oil supply could be hit and how vulnerable India is

New Delhi: Oil shipments through the crucial energy corridor of the Strait of Hormuz have dropped sharply amid the Israel–Iran conflict. The disruption at this key international waterway, through which nearly 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply passes, has reportedly led to around 700 tankers being stranded on either side of the narrow strait. Shipowners are avoiding the volatile region, raising concerns over crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies for India and other major importers. According to reports, global oil flows through the strait have declined by nearly 86 per cent, with only a limited number…

Iran struck by 4.3 magnitude earthquake, epicenter in Gerash city amid conflict with US-Israel

Tehran: An earthquake of 4.3 magnitude struck near the city of Gerash in southern Iran on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake occurred at a shallow depth of around 10 km and is typical of natural tectonic activity in the seismically active region. Seismically, this is consistent with natural tectonic activity in southern Iran, which sits along the active Zagros fault system, where shallow quakes are common. However, the timing, during the ongoing US military campaign known as Operation Epic Fury, has drawn attention to the quake’s geographic proximity to several sensitive Iranian sites. The tremor comes amid…
