Over 200 tankers, including two Indonesian ones, are stranded in the Strait of Hormuz due to U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, disrupting global oil flows and spiking prices.

Over 200 oil tankers, including two Pertamina vessels, are stranded in the Persian Gulf due to a near-total halt in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global chokepoint. The disruption follows intensified U.S.-Israel military actions against Iran, which have damaged vessels, shut down energy facilities, and triggered sharp oil price spikes. Indonesia is negotiating the release of its two detained tankers, prioritizing crew safety and energy security, while diversifying supplies and strengthening resilience amid regional instability.
