Iran's Exemption for Indian, Chinese, Qatari, and Iraqi Ships Raises Concerns over Strait of Hormuz Security

A big and shocking news has come out related to the melting desert of West Asia and the strategically world's most sensitive sea route'Strait of Hormuz '. Iran has decided to officially exempt commercial ships from India, China, Qatar and Iraq from the restrictions on passing through this route. According to the BBC, Al Jazeera and other international reports, this step taken by Tehran is being presented as a commercial arrangement between the US naval blockade and international sanctions. Although, on the surface, it is seen as a big relief, but analysts of global affairs and maritime security believe that this so-called'selected corridor'can push those countries, shipping companies and global energy markets into a quagmire of serious and unexpected threats. This situation has become more complicated amid the political change in America (the defeat of Donald Trump's leadership and the equation after the mid-term elections). Let's understand which 4 major political exemptions and major political threats to the Indian economy are hidden behind this extension.
