A US‑sanctioned tanker carrying Iranian crude oil is reportedly en route to India’s Vadinar port, marking the first direct Iranian oil import since 2019. The Eswatini‑flagged Aframax tanker Ping Shun loaded about 600,000 barrels of crude from Iran’s Kharg Island and altered its destination from China to India, according to maritime tracking data. The shipment follows a temporary US sanctions waiver amid global oil supply concerns. If completed, this move signals a potential resumption of India‑Iran energy trade, although regulatory and financial challenges persist. (PC: NDTV)
