India Clarifies Talks with Iran Over Strait of Hormuz Tax Amid Shipping Crisis

In this atmosphere of war and tension around the world, the Indian government has given big information about the Iranian border and the Strait of Hormuz. Has Tehran imposed any special tax on Indian ships? On Thursday, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal clarified that India has not had any talks with Iran on this issue. Since the beginning of Iran's war with Israel and the United States, Hormuz, one of the world's most important sea trade routes, has been virtually closed. The Lloyd's List intelligence report has shown how dire the situation is. It has been found that shipping has decreased by 94 percent compared to last year. Most of the ships that are now sailing through the Strait of Hormuz are Iranian oil tankers. It is alleged that Iran has now started a system like'Toll Plaza '. The ships have to leave the middle lane and now pass through Iran's coast to Larak Island. And before going, the Iranian army people are given all the information about the ship's cargo and crew. Although it is known that the ships have not paid a lot of money in the last two days, the ships have allowed their passage through the country.
