Iran has allowed limited passage through the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz for select countries, including India, China, and Russia, even as tensions in the region remain high.
The move comes after Iran imposed strict controls over the waterway following the US-Iran conflict, effectively restricting most global shipping and disrupting a key route that handles a significant share of the world’s oil trade.
According to officials, only approved vessels from “non-hostile” nations are being allowed to pass, often after coordination with Iranian authorities, highlighting a selective and tightly monitored transit system.
India has been in active talks with Tehran to ensure safe passage for its vessels, with some Indian ships already navigating through the corridor amid the crisis.
The situation underscores the geopolitical importance of the Strait of Hormuz, where disruptions can have immediate global implications on energy supplies, shipping routes, and economic stability.
