Tehran says transit comes under the condition that the countries will not support acts of aggression against it
Iran has permitted the passage of Indian and Russian ships through the Strait of Hormuz, its foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has said.
In an X post quoting Araghchi, the Iranian consulate in Mumbai listed India, along withChina, Russia, Iraq, and Pakistanas "friendly nations" permitted passage through the choke point.
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic transit route for a fifth of the world's oil and gas supplies, and disruption of shipping traffic has already triggered a surge in prices of commodities globally.
In an earlier post by Iran's mission to the UN on Tuesday, Tehran had put a condition on countries seeking safe passage through the strait.
"Non-hostile vessels, including those belonging to or associated with other States, may - provided that they neither participate in nor support acts of aggression against Iran," it said.
The nations should also fully comply with the declared safety and security regulations in coordination with the Iranian authorities, it added.
Last week, Indiadenieda report that Iran had sought the release of three oil tankers seized by New Delhi as part of talks on the safe passage.
Two Indian-flagged tankers have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran, New Delhi said on Tuesday.
New Delhi imports 85% of its oil and nearly half of its natural gas. About half of its oil supplies and 55% of its LNG shipments pass through the Strait.
