TOKYO: A Japanese shipping firm said on Monday that an Indian-flagged tanker owned by its subsidiary had passed through the Strait of Hormuz and was en route to the South Asian country. Iran has effectively closed the strait — a critical route for global crude oil and gas — in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes that began on February 28. The near closing of the international artery has led to fuel shortages and soaring energy prices across the globe. A spokeswoman of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines told AFP the LPG tanker Green Asha had crossed the strait.
