One India highlighted that Iran is collecting transit fees from Indian and Chinese ships, while Qatar is exempt. This outlet also reported that at least 15 Indian seafarers have been killed in attacks on ships since fighting began on February 28, 2026, and detailed an incident where an Indian sailor died near Oman. The Indian Express and The Siasat Daily noted that Iran's exemptions were based on specific considerations and mutual interests, with The Indian Express framing it as 'what Iran wants in return'. The New Indian Express also stated that exemptions were based on specific considerations and mutual interests."],"centre":["Centre-rated reports highlighted Iran's decision to exempt ships from India, China, Iraq, and Qatar from Strait of Hormuz restrictions. Devdiscourse quoted Ahmad Hayat-Moghaddam, Vice Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stating that these countries are free to navigate the waterway without limitations, and that Iran is doing business by importing medicine from India and gaining political support from China, while also taking money from them. Khaama Press also mentioned Moghadam and the exemptions. Marine Insight stated that no restrictions apply to these vessels. The Statesman quoted Amir Hayat Moghadam saying the measure is aimed at shoring up 'mutual interests'. Hindustan Times noted that India imports almost 90% of its crude oil needs, with about 30% passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Greater Kashmir also reported the exemptions, citing Moghadam."],"right":["Right-rated reports focused on Iran granting exemptions to Indian vessels, with some noting that fees are involved. OpIndia reported that Iran will allow Indian ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz after they pay a fee. Zero Hedge and BizToc used the headline 'Iran Carves Out Strait Of Hormuz Exemptions For China, India, Iraq, Qatar'. CNBC-TV18 and India Today stated that Iran has exempted commercial ships from four countries, including India and China, from transit restrictions. India Today added that Tehran says the arrangement reflects mutual interests, including medicine imports from India and political support from China. The Hindu Business Line reported an Iranian lawmaker's claim of exemptions for India but noted that New Delhi awaits official confirmation and no policy change is observed. ABP News reported that Iran allows ships from India, China, Iraq, and Qatar to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions. India TV News stated that an Iranian lawmaker said the arrangement for Indian ships is partly intended to facilitate medicine supplies, while Tehran also seeks diplomatic and economic benefits."],"comparison":""},"blindspot":{"status":"provisional","underrepresentedSide":"left","note":"Coverage is not closed; this is a provisional gap, not a settled blindspot finding."},"sourceFactualityDistribution":{"veryLow":2,"low":1,"mixed":10,"high":9,"unknown":48,"veryHigh":2},"ownershipDistribution":{"mediaConglomerate":6,"billionaire":4,"government":1,"independent":8,"other":1,"corporation":2},"firstDatedReport":{"sourceName":"Haberler","url":"https://haberler.com/guncel/iranli-yetkili-hurmuz-de-hindistan-cin-irak-ve-20392875-haberi","publishedAt":"2026-11-03T18:25:47.000Z"},"countries":[{"country":"India","count":4},{"country":"New Delhi, Delhi, India, India","count":3},{"country":"Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, India","count":3},{"country":"Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India","count":2},{"country":"Turkey","count":1},{"country":"Egypt","count":1},{"country":"Ankara, Turkey","count":1},{"country":"Istanbul, Turkey","count":1},{"country":"Iraq","count":1},{"country":"Chandigarh, India","count":1},{"country":"Mumbai, Konkan Division, Maharashtra, India","count":1},{"country":"Hyderabad, Telangana, India","count":1},{"country":"Kozhikode, Kerala, India, India","count":1},{"country":"Sofia, Sofia City Province, Bulgaria","count":1},{"country":"Kabul, Afghanistan","count":1},{"country":"Delhi, Delhi Division, Delhi, India","count":1}],"outlets":[{"name":"Haberler","url":"https://haberler.com/guncel/iranli-yetkili-hurmuz-de-hindistan-cin-irak-ve-20392875-haberi","headline":"An Iranian Official Said that Ships From India, China, Iraq, and Qatar Are Exempt in the Strait of Hormuz.","publishedAt":"2026-11-03T18:25:47.000Z","leaningSide":null,"leaningRating":"unknown","factualityRating":"unknown","angle":null,"isOpinion":false,"country":null,"repostedFrom":null},{"name":"A Haber","url":"https://ahaber.com.tr/dunya/2026/11/03/irandan-hurmuz-bogazinda-dikkat-ceken-karar-4-ulkenin-gemilerine-serbest-gecis","headline":"Iran Has Granted Exemptions to Four Countries in the Strait of Hormuz!
