Dozens Of Tankers Seen Frozen In Hormuz As Iran Declares 'Control' Over Passage Route | May 15, 2026, 08:50:25 AM | TOI.inShareEerie drone footage from above the Strait of Hormuz shows dozens of oil tankers and cargo ships barely moving as Iran tightens navigation controls during its escalating standoff with the United States.
The strategic waterway, responsible for carrying nearly a fifth of the world’s oil supply, now appears unnervingly silent amid mounting geopolitical pressure.
Iranian state media says around 30 vessels were allowed passage since Wednesday, signalling Tehran’s growing control over the route.
The visuals have intensified concerns over global energy security and possible economic shockwaves worldwide.#StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USA #OilCrisis #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #Hormuz #IranUS #GlobalOil #WorldNews #Tankers #Geopolitics #DroneFootage #MaritimeCrisis #EnergyCrisisRecommended Playlist 04:29 Vijay Wins Tamil Nadu Trust Vote With 144 MLAs Amid AIADMK Split And Assembly Chaos 1 day ago 07:38 Kejriwal Targets BJP Over NEET Leak, Says ‘Gen-Z Can Demand Accountability Like Nepal & Bangladesh’ 1 day ago 03:22 Prateek Yadav Passes Away At 38 In Lucknow, Political Leaders Express Grief 1 day ago 04:26 Govt Hikes Gold & Silver Import Duty To 15% | Modesty Push Or Economic Warning? 1 day ago 04:08 PM Modi Pushes Major Austerity Drive, Orders Reduction In Convoy Size And Fuel Consumption Measures 2 days ago 05:52 AIADMK Faces Biggest Split Since Jayalalithaa Era As Rebel Faction Extends Support To Vijay’s TVK 2 days ago 03:59 Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Orders Shutdown Of 717 TASMAC Shops Near Temples, Schools And Bus Stands 2 days ago 05:47 Rahul Gandhi Calls PM Modi’s Austerity Appeal “Proof Of Failure”, Congress Seeks Answers 3 days ago 05:22 BJP Ends 15-Year TMC Rule In Bengal As Suvendu Adhikari Takes Oath As Chief Minister 5 days ago 05:01 Lt Gen NS Raja Subramani Named India’s New Chief Of Defence Staff Amid Major Military Reforms 5 days ago Top Viral Videos 11:13 Dozens Of Tankers Seen Frozen In Hormuz As Iran Declares 'Control' Over Passage RouteEerie drone footage from above the Strait of Hormuz shows dozens of oil tankers and cargo ships barely moving as Iran tightens navigation controls during its escalating standoff with the United States.
