00:00The Strait of Hormuz that remains a concern for the entire world. Why? Because 20% of global oil
00:06that passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Now, there are several ships that are just stranded,
00:12they're just standing. More than 200 ships that are stuck in the Persian Gulf and over 150 ships
00:18that are waiting outside the Strait of Hormuz, hoping for a passage. Out of this number that

00:34India, vessels that are stuck at the Strait of Hormuz, more than 300 oil tankers that are just
