Iran: Strategic developments in Tehran
Iran's deputy chairman of the national security and foreign policy committee, Amir Heyat Mogaddam, announced that ships flying the flags of India, China, Iraq, and Qatar can now pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's ISNA news agency. 'At present, we have lifted restrictions on the passage of ships from India, China, Iraq, and Qatar through the Strait of Hormuz. Ships from these countries pass freely through the strait, and the US is not hindering them,' said the Iranian official. He emphasized that no toll is levied on ships from Qatar for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the agency's counterpart, this is due to certain circumstances, as Tehran makes decisions based on mutual interests. The parliamentary representative noted that easing passage for Indian ships aims to ensure import of medicines from that country, while benefits applied to Chinese ships are aimed at gaining Beijing's political support. The Iranian official also explained that fees for passage are levied on ships from India and China, while such payment is not provided for Qatari ships.
