A frantic audio recording of an Indian-flagged tanker talking to Iran after being given permission to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and then supposedly being fired upon by Iranian forces has come to light, forcing ships to turn around.
A crazy audio recording from an Indian-flagged ship has actually taken a tense turn during a shooting event in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian forces attacked two merchant ships that were trying to cross the channel.
In the audio, the captain of the electric motor vessel Sanmar Herald can be heard urgently yelling:
“Sepah Navy! Sepah Navy! This is really a motor tanker called the Sanmar Adviser. You gave me permission to leave. My name is the second thing on your list. You let me go! You are now shooting! “Let me go back!”
The audio recording came to light after two company ships flying the Indian flag, one of which was very large, changed their course and stopped after members of the IRGC fired guns while trying to pass through the strait.
Authorities said that when the incident happened, the big oil tanker had about 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil on board. It looked like the GC warships fired on the ships, but they were actually told to go west. The UK Maritime Field OperationsMTO also confirmed that two IRGC warships fired on a ship in the inlet.
Earlier records showed that there was gunfire between the islands of Qeshm and Larak, which led boats to stop transporting people. A maritime security source said that a container ship was also attacked during the incident.
A lot of places blocked VHF messages that said the Strait of was closing. The information gave a warning:
“Attention all ships: Iran has once again closed the Inlet of Hormuz because the US government has not lived up to its end of the deal. No boat of any kind or race is allowed to go through the Plight of Hormuz.
India responded by calling in the Iranian envoy and making an official protest, saying that the incident was a “deep-seated issue.” A federal government source confirmed that one of the ships involved was the Sanmar Herald and that both the ship and its crew were still safe.
The MEA said that India’s top official in charge of foreign affairs told the envoy to tell Iranian officials about India’s concerns and that safe passage for ships heading to India should start again as soon as possible. The envoy promised to address the concerns.
Authorities told the Directorate General of Delivery to keep an eye on the steps being taken to protect Indianarers and ships in the area.
At the same time, Dr. Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, Iran’s representative of the Supreme Innovator in India, downplayed the problems that arose after the reported shooting. He told ANI that he really didn’t know much about what happened.I don’t know everything about the event you mentioned, but I do know that Iran and India have a very strong relationship. Ilahi said, “Our experts really hope that everything will be okay and that it will be fixed.”
