Two ships Shivalik and Nanda Devi are reaching India with 92,712 metric tons of gas through the Strait of Hormuz. The anger of Pakistanis is sky high after hearing this news. Pakistani expert Qamar Cheema has said that the Pakistani government should also talk to the Iranian government as to why Pakistani ships are not coming. Qamar Cheema also says that the Pakistani people are very angry with this.

Qamar Cheema said that the Iranian Ambassador to India has said that Indian ships can go through Hormuz. Now that Iran has stopped all the traffic, is the facility provided to India also available to Pakistan or not? He also said that secondly, if Pakistan is taking LNG and other things from Qatar and if Qatar has stopped their production, then these things will not be able to reach Pakistan.

Iran will never anger India, said Pakistani expert
Qamar Cheema said that there may be shortage of cooking gas within India also. Iran can also shut down India’s kitchens because that is the way, but it will not do so. He said that Iran will not get involved in these things. Iran wants to take advantage of this time to strengthen its ties because now it is emerging as a regional player, so it wants to use it. He said that if these ships are coming to India from there, then the question is being raised in Pakistan also that 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas passes through the Strait of Hormuz and Iran has given relief to India.

Qamar Cheema said, ‘India has called the President of Iran and what is our government doing? Pakistan condemned the attacks on Iran. Also expressed regret over the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and what did we get? I do not have clarity on whether our ships are being allowed to come from Hormuz or not because our government is not saying anything.

Pakistanis got angry when India got exemption
Pak expert Qamar Cheema said that now Pakistanis are feeling very bad that we spoke against Israel, we supported Iran in the war and Iran is allowing India to take oil and gas. He said, ‘Iran will never anger India, it wants to manage India because India is a big country, Iran has to do business with it. Pakistanis feel bad, but there is nothing to feel bad about. Here you have to balance relationships.

Pakistan’s relations with Iran are not good, said Pak expert
Qamar Cheema said, ‘I feel that the efforts that Indians were making were to be traditionally close to Iran and use its Chabahar port to distance Pakistan and Afghanistan and give Afghanistan an alternative route. Iran was also happy with this. Pakistan’s relations with Iran have not been good, it thinks that India suits them in terms of business. He said that Iran just takes political and diplomatic support from Pakistan. Iranians also know that Pakistan has a defense deal with Saudi Arabia, so that is also one thing.

Pakistan government should talk to Iran, Pak expert appealed
Qamar Cheema said that the Pakistan government should also talk to the Iranian government as to why our ships are not coming from there. The government should talk about this because this war is long. He said that the Government of Pakistan is giving subsidy of 2300 billion dollars on LPG cylinders and things like this, but if all this continues then the government will be able to give subsidy for one, two or three weeks, then after that it will have to come forward. He said that the government cannot give so much subsidy, the government does not have so much money, then Pakistan has to take more loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). IMF tells us that you people cannot do this. This is a big issue with Pakistan.

‘Strait of Hormuz is open to everyone except enemies…’, big statement of Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi

Due to the war between America, Israel and Iran, there is an outcry in the whole world regarding oil and gas. Especially in countries like India and Pakistan. Arab countries send oil and gas to the international market through the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran has closed this route. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that only tankers and ships of the ‘enemy and its allies’ are not allowed to pass through here.

Due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, many gas and oil ships are stranded, but Iran has maintained friendship with India and two Indian ships Shivalik and Nanda Devi are about to reach India with 92,712 metric tons of LPG. Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has told how Indian ships have been allowed to come through Hormuz.

Speaking with the Financial Times, Jaishankar said Iran’s permission to two Indian-flagged ships to pass through Hormuz shows that diplomatic efforts between the two countries have yielded positive results. Jaishankar said that certainly from India’s point of view it is better to act logically rather than doing nothing. Coordinate among yourselves and find a solution. Since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar spoke to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on phone four times.

Jaishankar said that India has not got permission for its ships to go through Hormuz in exchange for any deal with Iran. Iran has not made any demand from India in return. He said that India and Iran have a special relationship.

Jaishankar said that this is just the beginning, there are other Indian ships there. This is a welcome step and continuous talks will continue with Iran on this. The External Affairs Minister also clarified that this is not a blanket arrangement with Iran for Indian flagged ships, the movement of each ship is an individual event. When Jaishankar was asked whether European countries can also adopt a system like India, he said that every country’s relationship with Iran is important in itself. It is difficult to compare it directly.
