Iran challenges US naval blockade by granting China and 3 other countries passage through Hormuz as African economies monitor shipping disruption

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Iran has exempted commercial vessels from China, India, Iraq and Qatar from its restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. Chinese and Indian vessels pay transit fees, while Qatari vessels are exempt from charges.

The Strait of Hormuz, the waterway linking the Gulf with the Arabian Sea, carries a large share of the world's seaborne oil, so any restrictions on it draw close international attention.
