Russia offers 9.5M barrels weekly to India amid US-Iran conflict: New Delhi's dilemma

• Russia offers 9.5 million barrels of crude oil weekly to India, ready to supply all fuel types via alternative routes.
• This offer comes amidst the US-Iran conflict and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for 40% of India's oil imports.
• India currently holds 6-8 weeks of crude oil supply and is actively seeking alternative sources.
• Approximately 9.5 million barrels of Russian crude are already en route to Indian ports.
• The US, citing a past trade deal, opposes India buying Russian oil, creating a dilemma for New Delhi.
