Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Open to Most Nations but Bans US and Israel Vessels

Iran ne pichle 48 ghanton mein ek important announcement kiya hai jisme kaha gaya hai ki Strait of Hormuz, jo duniya ka sabse important oil shipping route mana jata hai, ab bhi global trade ke liye open hai.

Iran ke officials ne kaha ki woh global energy supply ko disrupt nahi karna chahte, lekin United States aur Israel ke military ya commercial vessels ko is route ka use karne ki ijazat nahi di jayegi. Iran ne yeh bhi kaha ki un deshon ke ships par bhi restriction ho sakti hai jo US-led operations mein support kar rahe hain.

Reports ke mutabiq India, China aur Russia jaise countries ke tankers ko “friendly nations” category mein rakha gaya hai aur unhe Strait se guzarne ki permission di ja sakti hai.

Iran ki IRGC Navy ne yeh bhi kaha hai ki Strait se guzarte waqt kai ships ki inspection ki ja sakti hai taaki confirm ho sake ki woh restricted countries ka cargo transport nahi kar rahe.

Is announcement ke baad global shipping aur oil markets mein tension dekhne ko mila hai. Insurance companies ne Gulf region ke liye war-risk premiums badha diye hain, jiski wajah se tankers ki movement slow ho gayi hai aur energy supply chain par pressure ban raha hai.
