Foreign media reported today: Iran stated that it has not blocked the Strait of Hormuz, but the passage rules are controlled by Iran. This means that who can pass and who cannot is decided by Iran. In plain terms, those who have helped Iran in the past or whom Iran believes will need in the future can pass. According to Indian media reports, Chinese ships can pass.
Comments: Allowing friendly and neutral countries such as China to pass is both a political gesture and a pragmatic choice to maintain energy and trade routes. It maintains regional deterrence while avoiding putting itself in an impossible situation.
