        "summary": "Indonesia's Foreign Minister Sugiono stated that internal issues in Iran are delaying the passage of two Pertamina International Shipping tankers, VLCC Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro, through the Strait of Hormuz, which are carrying crude oil and third-party cargo essential for national energy needs. Despite ongoing negotiations by the Foreign Ministry and the embassy in Tehran, in collaboration with the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, the government is exploring alternative supply routes to maintain energy security. The situation underscores geopolitical challenges in securing vital energy imports amid regional tensions.",
        "content": "<p>Foreign Minister Sugiono stated that the internal situation in Iran\nis causing two ships from PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) to\nremain detained in the Strait of Hormuz. \u201cSometimes, policies from the\ntop are not immediately implemented on the ground. That is what we are\nseeking a solution for,\u201d Sugiono explained during a press conference at\nthe Presidential Staff Office (KSP) in Jakarta on Wednesday (22\/4\/2026).\n\u201cThat is still something we are negotiating and discussing,\u201d Sugiono\nadded. Although hindered by the situation there, the Ministry of Foreign\nAffairs (Kemlu) continues to negotiate so that the two ships carrying\nfuel oil can pass through. \u201cOf course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,\nin this case our Embassy in Tehran, is also continuing discussions,\u201d\nSugiono said. In terms of maintaining national energy resilience,\nSugiono said, the government will continue to seek alternative sources.\n\u201cThen, the supplies we receive are not all through Hormuz,\u201d added the\nGerindra Party General Secretary. The two tankers still detained in the\nArabian Sea are VLCC Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro. VLCC Pertamina Pride\nis carrying a supply of crude oil (light crude oil) to meet domestic\nenergy needs, while the Gamsunoro ship is serving third-party consumer\ncargo. \u201cWe are continuing intensive communication with the Iranian side,\nand collaboration between ESDM and Kemenlu is also ongoing. Let\u2019s pray,\u201d\nhe said at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Jakarta on\nMonday (20\/4\/2026). Nevertheless, he declined to provide more details on\nthe progress of the Indonesian government\u2019s negotiations with Iran.\n\u201cBecause not everything has to be conveyed to the public. This involves\ngeopolitics in such conditions. We can be open, but not too open,\u201d\nexplained Bahlil.<\/p>",
