You can enjoy safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz

Iran has included several countries, including Bangladesh, in its list of ‘friendly nations’ for safe navigation of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. This move allows Bangladeshi-flagged vessels to transit this strategically important waterway more securely.
Iran has indicated that ships from Bangladesh and a few other nations will be able to navigate the strait under a coordinated system. The narrow passage of the Persian Gulf carries around one-fifth of the world’s total oil supply. Since the start of military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran last month, the strait has been under strict Tehran control.
According to a report in The Indian Express yesterday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a state television interview that, contrary to some Western media claims, the strait is not entirely closed. Araghchi stated, “Many ship owners or countries have contacted us to ensure safe passage for their vessels. For countries we consider friendly, or for those we have decided to grant permission, our armed forces have secured safe routes.”
He added, “Ships from China, Russia, Pakistan, Iraq, and India have already passed through. To my knowledge, Bangladesh is also included in this list. These countries have coordinated with us, and this arrangement will continue even after the conflict.”
A Foreign Ministry official in Bangladesh told The Daily Star that the country has not yet received any formal communication from Iran regarding this matter. However, the official confirmed that since the outbreak of hostilities, Iran has not issued any order restricting Bangladeshi ships from using the Strait of Hormuz. He said, “We are not an enemy country, so there is no question of our vessels being barred from transit.”
Currently, Bangladesh has not chartered any vessels to transit the strait over the next two months. The official also noted that, as the country imports energy from multiple sources, there is no cause for concern.
Araghchi further emphasized, “Ships directly involved in the ongoing conflict will not be allowed to pass. We are in a state of war, and this region is a conflict zone. Therefore, vessels of our enemies and their allies will not be permitted, but the route will remain open for others.”
