Iran has denied reports regarding granting India special access to oil through the Strait of Hormuz, clarifying that the blockade remains in effect for all countries until the U.S. and Israel withdraw. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for 20% of global oil transport, remains closed, affecting energy supplies across Asia. India, reliant on Iranian liquefied petroleum gas, faces inventory restrictions for two months, with constrained natural gas supplies creating significant pressure on households and the hospitality industry.
