Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that his country will now allow ships of partner countries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. India is also included in these countries, along with the names of China, Russia, Iraq and Pakistan have also been taken. This means that Indian ships will be allowed to pass safely through this route. However, a condition has been imposed that the ships must first coordinate with Iranian authorities.

Relief news for India amid energy crisis
India has got a big relief from this decision of Iran, because a lot of India’s oil comes through this route. If this road had remained closed, petrol and diesel could have become expensive.
