Strait of Hormuz: Taxes for Everyone But Not for India : Despite a two-week ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Iran still levies traffic fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump has also warned Iran against trying to collect tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. He accused Iran of failing to maintain adequate energy supplies despite the ceasefire agreement. Against this backdrop, India has clarified that no charges are levied on Indian ships, according to Indian Express. But why “text-align: justify;”> Big news!

India says it supports free and safe navigation along this vital sea route, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and is vital for the supply of vital commodities such as oil and gas. Unlike waterways such as the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, maritime straits are natural waterways, where generally no tolls are levied. But there are some exceptions to this, such as the Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles Strait, where Turkey charges tolls under a special international agreement. Similarly, the Strait of Hormuz is an international route, where no tolls are charged for transit only. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, rules of free navigation apply in such international waterways. Although Iran and the US have not formally ratified the deal, both countries generally abide by it. According to the sources, if the status of the Strait of Hormuz is to be changed, it would be a matter of international law and would require a process through the United Nations. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said ships could be allowed to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks, but this would require coordination with the Iranian military and compliance with certain technical limitations. During the war, Iran had declared ships of some countries, including India, Pakistan and many others, as allies and allowed them to pass. But the situation remains tense and there are severe restrictions on shipping on this sea route, affecting global supply chains.India is keeping a close watch on the news coming from Iran
It is imperative that ships sail safely. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal has said that India is keeping a close eye on the news coming from Iran, but India’s position remains the same. India continues to insist that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz should continue uninterrupted and safe. He also said that if such a situation arises in the future, India will take a decision based on the situation at that time.Tolls according to a special international agreement
