Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that the country has permitted the passage of vessels for friendly nations, including India, through the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil and gas trade. The Iranian Defence Council has announced that the transit of non-hostile vessels through the Strait is now strictly dependent on prior coordination with Iranian officials. The move follows comments by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who called for the opening of the Strait to minimize the consequences of the war in the region. Guterres urged the US and Israel to end the war in West Asia, citing human suffering and economic impact. The Iranian mission in New York announced that non-hostile vessels may benefit from safe passage through the Strait, provided they comply with safety and security regulations.
