Iran-linked LPG tanker slips through Hormuz claiming Indian ownership while US blockade tightens

It broadcast Indian ownership mid-transit, despite Iran ties

Ship-tracking data suggests the Iran-linked LPG carrier Tara Gas is transiting the Strait of Hormuz, moving past Larak Island on a route that appears aligned with Iranian approvals. The vessel is reportedly broadcasting that its crew and owners are Indian, even as the US maintains a naval blockade pressure campaign. The LPG onboard is described as cooking-fuel material. Bloomberg adds that countries including India have negotiated with Tehran to secure energy cargo releases.
