India denied these rumors

The Indian government has denied reports that Iran has demanded the release of three oil tankers seized by India in return for safe passage to Indian-flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Top sources in the central government said that this report is baseless and no such discussion has ever taken place between the officials of India and Iran. India is in touch with Tehran for safe passage of more than 20 Indian-flagged merchant ships from the Strait of Hormuz, the government said. Following talks between the two sides, two Indian-flagged LPG carrier ships, Shivalik and Nanda Devi, transited the Strait of Hormuz carrying 92,712 metric tonnes of LPG in the early hours of Saturday.
