Iran Exempts India, China, Iraq, and Qatar from Strait of Hormuz Restrictions

[vasanthm]

Ahmad Hayat-Moghaddam, Vice Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, announced on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, that vessels from India, China, Iraq, and Qatar have been granted exemptions from transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and can navigate the waterway without limitations.

Speaking at a meeting reviewing economic and security conditions, Hayat-Moghaddam stated that the Islamic Republic has designated exemptions for these four nations, allowing their ships to pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz. He added: “The Americans do not interfere with them either.”

Elaborating on the rationale behind the decision, the lawmaker noted that the Islamic Republic does not levy transit tolls on Qatari vessels and that each exemption was granted based on specific considerations and agreements. Hayat-Moghaddam remarked: “We are conducting business, and each of these exemptions has a distinct reason.”

According to the MP, India’s exemption was designed to facilitate medicine imports into Iran, while China’s exemption aims to secure political backing from Beijing for the Islamic Republic.

Iran has huge soft power projections in these countries.

It is a win win for everyone involved in the transaction.

If Iran refuses to play ball or any irrational ball it will get invaded completely and utterly down the line ala Rasidun era style. Maybe not today but in the next couple years where everyone probably goes at some point enough is enough and they will put boots inside Iran.

What they are doing is just retardation, trying to block a fuking strait. This is actully against the international waters treaty.

What Iran is doing is called 101 in how to actully get invaded and lose everything
