On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump claimed that the United States had already won the war in Iran, however stating that the American troops would remain deployed until the mission was fully completed.

The war that broke out after the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on February 28 has so far saw fierce attacks and counter attacks, registering around 1,200 casualties.

Attacks on oil tankers in Iran and the closure of Strait of Hormuz impacted oil supply and shot up crude prices across the globe.

Given the shortage in oil, India’s Russian oil imports have surged in the first 11 days of March, according to trade sources and tanker data.

Analysing the inputs, Express journalist Sukalp Sharma reported that before the West Asia conflict began on February 28, Delhi’s oil imports from Moscow were expected to be around 800,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1 million bpd. With the conflict effectively suspending maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, India’s Russian oil imports have jumped to 1.5 million bpd in the first 11 days of the month, according to ship tracking data from commodity market analytics firm Kpler.
