Iran has allowed “friendly nations,” including India, China, Russia, Pakistan and Iraq, limited access through the Strait of Hormuz amid its conflict with the US. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said passage is restricted to “non-hostile” vessels coordinating with Iranian authorities. The partial reopening comes as global energy markets reel from disruptions caused by the strait’s closure. India confirmed safe transit of its LPG carriers, easing immediate supply concerns. Meanwhile, Tehran is pushing demands for sovereignty over Hormuz and considering toll charges, as global powers and the UN urge restoration of full maritime flow.
