Tanker carrying Iranian crude shifts course from India to China

Iran war: A US-sanctioned tanker carrying Iranian crude, Ping Shun, has changed course to China after earlier signaling India as its destination, where it would have marked the first such import in nearly seven years. India has not bought Iranian oil since 2019 due to US sanctions, and despite a temporary waiver by Donald Trump, challenges around payment, shipping and insurance continue to hinder any potential deal.
