Renewed Iran conflict sends oil prices higher, raises Hormuz transit fears
US President Donald Trump's announcement ending the ceasefire with Iran has heightened concerns for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Nine India-bound ships await passage, and an Indian oil tanker reportedly turned back from the Omani corridor.
Crude oil prices saw a significant spike as global benchmark Brent rose more than seven percent.
Officials express concern, but India's diversified energy supplies may mitigate severe impacts.
