The Bosphorus carries approximately 25% of global oil shipments, about two -thirds of India’s crude oil and half of LNG imports and remains open for now.

The final decision is not a parliamentary vote because Iran is still based on the Supreme National Security Council, which is still discussing the issue.

Exporters, the closure of the Bosphorus will lead to an increase in shipping insurance premiums and load costs. The authority added that any alternative route will contribute to the time and costs of exporters.

Risks continue to increase, but the new Delhi’s ability to intervene in the issue may be minimal because the country does not have any transportation line.
