Iran: Event in Tehran
Ahmad Hayat Modarres, Vice Chairman of the National Security Commission of the Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran, announced on Wednesday, 12 Aban, in a session reviewing the economic and security situation that four countries: India, China, Iraq, and Qatar have been exempted from travel restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and their ships are freely passing through this waterway. Hayat Modarres said: 'Currently, we have exempted India, China, Iraq, and Qatar from travel restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, and ships of these countries are moving freely; Americans also have no concern with them.' He also announced that the Islamic Republic does not charge Qatar with Hormuz Strait passage fees. The Vice Chairman of the National Security Commission of the Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran said regarding the reasons for these exemptions: 'We are in the middle of deals, and each of these exemptions has a specific reason.' Hayat Modarres added that the India exemption was designed to enable drug imports to Iran, and the decision regarding China was also taken to benefit from the political support of that country.
