“Indian friends” don’t need “to worry” about the Strait of Hormuz

Iran has said that its “Indian friends” don’t need “to worry” about the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route that has been disrupted since Israel and the United States attacked Tehran on February 28.

“Our Indian friends are in safe hands, no worries,” the Embassy of Iran in India said in a post on X on Thursday.

Iran has said it has permitted “friendly nations”, including India, China, Russia, Iraq and Pakistan, passage through Hormuz.

The blockade has resulted in severe disruptions in energy supply to many countries, including India.(updated on 2nd April 2026)
