        "summary": "PT Pertamina is actively monitoring the volatile situation in the Strait of Hormuz, where two of its tanker ships remain detained in the Persian Gulf amid escalating tensions between the US, Iran, and Israel. The company is coordinating closely with Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is engaging in diplomacy with Iran to secure passage for the vessels, one carrying domestic crude oil supplies and the other third-party cargo. This blockade threatens global energy supplies, as the strait handles about one-fifth of the world's crude oil and LNG shipments, underscoring the risks to Indonesia's energy security.",
