Iran’s Hormuz exemption likely to bring relief to India’s oil importers

In an interview with Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) Tuesday, Amir Hayat-Moghaddam, deputy chairman of Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said, “We have currently exempted four countries — India, China, Iraq and Qatar — from transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. Ships from these countries pass freely, and the Americans do not intercept them either.”
