Yay, we got one ship to cross the straits!

We could have an entire Indian-owned port, outside the straits in question, with an attached O&G pipeline that we paid for, connected directly to the oil and gas fields in Iran. Not to mention all the rare earth minerals in Afghanistan that we had received sanction to mine prior to the war, that would also have been shipped through this port.

The cognitive dissonance in nationalist Indians is honestly tiresome and unsurprising at this moment.
