Bloomberg: Iran allows Turkish and Indian ships to pass through Hormuz
Countries including Turkey and India have received specific approval from Tehran for vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to officials cited by Bloomberg, as Iran selectively allows limited transit amid the conflict.
A Pakistan-bound oil tanker, the Karachi, was among the first to pass through the strait in recent days, marking one of the few successful crossings since war disrupted shipping.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi oil minister said that Baghdad has an understanding with Tehran to allow its oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Al Jazeera reported.
