Strait of Hormuz: Iran Favours India, Snubs Pakistan

What's behind this

Iran has decided to exempt Indian vessels from transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, allowing them to pass through after paying a fee for access. This move has caused diplomatic embarrassment for Pakistan, with Pakistani commentators and social‑media users questioning why their country was omitted despite its widely publicised mediation efforts. The decision contrasts with earlier reports of Iranian Revolutionary Guard statements about three ships catching fire on an “illegal” Hormuz route, which are provided only for background.
