Iran's Security Chief Killed Amid Strait of Hormuz Blockade Impacting India's Energy Supply

Iran's national security chief Ali Larijani was reportedly killed in overnight attacks linked to ongoing US-Israeli strikes, marking a significant escalation in the West Asia conflict. In response, Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical channel for global LPG supplies, severely impacting India's energy security. India, heavily reliant on West Asian oil and LPG imports, faces shortages and supply disruptions, prompting government measures including increased refinery output and seeking alternative suppliers amid concerns over storage infrastructure and rising costs.
