I mean, isn't it to be expected? India's one of their major customers, has given them aid during crisis and even support in developing Chabahar. They and China are probably going to get some preferential treatment compared to the rest of the world.

India hasn’t been purchasing oil from Iran for quite awhile now. In 2019, Trump said you can’t but oil from Iran or else and India complied.
As far as Chabahar is concerned, the waiver for no sanctions on the project has ended or is about to end soon and I doubt India is going to risk facing fresh sanctions from the US.
I think what’s happened is Indian refiners have bought oil from Iran at the nudging of the government and in return Iran are letting crucial LPG ships pass.

People have short memories.
Iran and India are always close historically and even in modern days.
India-Iran were ready to build gas pipeline which for blocked by America.
India was given rights to build chhabbar port and they built what they could but utilization is under due to again USA.
India allowed Iran to launder money through state controlling Indian banks again stopped due to USA
India was major Iran gas and oils customer but was asked to stop after ban again by USA
Now Iran knows and understands that India gives up to the pressure of USA as they have to take care of growing power and population. They can’t be North Korea.
Today also many Iranians come India regularly for medical treatments….
Overall Iran has nothing against India and they understand Indias compulsion and situation when it comes to economic cooperation.
Finally India refused US base or fuel refueling access or launch site.
Now the world knows why trump 2 is getting closer to Pakistan as they will surrender and will allow ground support if needed.
Overall this is why India is getting full pass.

Is that a serious question? Just in case it is, Saudi and other mid east countries provided their land and resources for these attacks. So they are part of the aggressors’ party.

India is the cost saving refiner who can operate at scale for pretty much every location the US wants to sell oil to and is their proxy in oil trade, also the faster and secure way to keep their bases in Indian ocean and the archipelago running, if Iran fucked with that they wont have any support, even russia, ukraine and EU are dependant on India's oil laundering, there is a reason why despite all the lip service and moral grandstanding in the media for domestic consumption, no party is actually physically stopping india from importing crude from any source including the supposedly sanctioned ones (case in point, Russian oil, every day we see some ukraine supporter crying about india and russian oil while not knowing where ukraine is getting their diesel for their war from under different labels), India is also now responsible for laundering venezuelan crude to the eastern hemisphere on behalf of USA, hence why India is building refinery in USA so US could reduce cost to make it profitable for the US to extract it and sell it to nearby countries and Europe.

This war was idiotic and has undoubtedly damaged America's prestige, but I don't think Iran is going to come out of this more powerful. What's going to happen is that the IRGC is going to have a much greater role in Iranian leadership, and the country is going to be much more hostile and paranoid (rightfully so, mind you). To the extent that Trump has achieved regime change in Iran its been by obliterating the reformist camp and empowering the IRGC.

If they are allowed to tax vessels passing through the strait at the price tag they mentioned (i.e. 2 mln per ship), that would be nearly 100bn per year, which would be on top of their usual oil exports.
There's no reason to believe it would be possible to prevent Iran from imposing this tax, at least for the 3-5 years it would take to build more pipelines to the west of the gulf states.
100bn per year would certainly be enough for Iran to quickly rebuild and fast track any armament plans they have.

If the extent of the damage done to Iran's industrial base wasn't as extensive as it currently is, then I might be willing to accept this explanation, but I don't think 5 years and 100 bn is enough to actually recover from said damage. Besides, the Strait of Hormuz is closed principally as a means of exerting pressure on the global economy. This is intended to discourage the US from continuing the war. So long as the prospect of the Strait being reopened exists, then the possibility of some kind of agreement with the US remains. I think the Iranians would prefer some kind of security guarantee or sanctiosn relief than playing tollman.

Who are these “actual terrorist organisations”? They fund resistance groups against American interests in the region, and so are terrorists from an American point of view, just like Nelson Mandela was a terrorist in American books until 2008. Meanwhile, the US which is responsible for the creation of the likes of Al-Qaeda and ISIS has funded far more terrorism in the region. A region where they have no business to be in in the first place. There’s a good reason why the Global South sees US and Israel as far more of a threat to peace than Iran ever will be - a country that has never initiated a war in the last 50 years.

The US is one of the most warmongering and imperialist states in the world. I also have great admiration for your average Iranian.
However, Iran does export terrorism and radical islamic ideologies across the Middle East and the rest of the world. Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis are just well known. Iran has funded multiple terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq, Palestine and even regions like Bahrain. These terrorists have killed thousands of innocent men, women and children. Those who died had absolutely nothing to do with the US interests in the region.
The Iran-Iraq war occurred because of Khomeini desire to export the Iranian revolution and it's fundamentalism to Iraq and other middle eastern nationsm. The Iranian leadership is incredibly evil.

What you ascribe to Iran sounds like what is described as Realpolitik, when the West does it. The numbers you mention pale in comparison to the activities of the likes of ISIS and Al-Qaeda, that owe their existence to the Americans. This is without taking into account the genocide in Gaza or the invasion of Iraq, which have cumulatively cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. And let’s not even go into a global perspective on the millions that have died due to Western Realpolitik, from Chile to Vietnam. My claim isn’t that Iran are a government of angels, merely that they’re by an order of magnitude less evil than the Americans and the Israelis.

What exactly is going on with ships getting through or "navigating" the strait? My understanding is this:
1. Iran can shoot missiles at the ships
2. Iran can block the entrance so no one can go through
3. Iran set mines the ships can run into
If Iran is blocking the entrance, are they allowing ships to go through only from approved countries? Or are they saying "go ahead, maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't"? But how come the US keeps mentioning they will e***** ships through? If Iran won't let them in, how can they navigate anyone though? And what are they navigating? How would an e***** keep the ship safe? And what did this ship and the 7 others mentioned do special to successfully get through? If avoiding mines, couldn't they just map out a path?

It seems that way.

From my understanding, is one of the things that they mentioned they could do. They have repeatedly said so, but also that at the moment that they won't.
> If Iran won't let them in, how can they navigate anyone though?
Well that's the issue, isn't it? they can't navigate if they risk being sunk. From my understanding, some ships tried to turn off their transponders and pass through at night. I'm not sure how many, if any ships have been able to slip through.
> How would an e***** keep the ship safe
These would be military ships. The idea here is that the military ship would intercept any oncoming missiles. For mines it would be not possible, but at the moment that doesn't look like the problem.

What's going to happen if or when shipping traffic picks back up to prior levels, and Iran's charging per vessel, but either a certain ship doesn't pay, or somehow they think it hasn't paid, and they shoot it and sink it in the strait?
If a ship hasn't paid, and gets in and out again, then they pretty much lose all justification and leverage to charge anyone else. But, if they shoot, and they're wrong, whether by mistake, or intentional data sabotage, what happens then?
Would a new artificial reef in the wrong spot cause a ~50% restriction on shipping throughput? Because there's only one lane in and out now?
Seems like a pretty big mistake to make if you're charging per ship, and also now your biggest friendlies that get in for free can only do half of the shipping business through there that they were doing yesterday.

You somehow are conflating a truthful assessment of the situation Trump created with an endorsement or celebration of it. That came from you, not from anything I wrote.

India has good relationships with Iran, Israel, and Palestine.
India's official stance on Palestine has always been a negotiated two-state solution, and it has never supported war. It was among the first to send aid to Palestine.
India has invested in Iran’s Chabahar Port and has always maintained a friendly relationship with Iran. After a girls' school in Iran was attacked by US/Israel, people in India donated a large amount of money to support Iran.
India also has a friendly relationship with Israel, and the two countries collaborate on several defense projects.
India does not want Israel and Iran to go to war, but if they do, it is unlikely to take sides. Instead, it will remain neutral, provide humanitarian aid to those in need, and protect its own business interests.

If that is the case why did it take India a whole week before condoning the killing of the Ayatollah? An unmistakable long amount of time to reach out to Pezeshkian only when it seemed clear there would be no LPG flowing through the strait and with a crisis at home for gas cylinders? Whatever “deal” they’ve struck with Iran must be a costly one as I don’t think Iran looks at India very favorably at the moment.

That was a regular state visit focused on expanding cooperation in defense, security, AI, agriculture, etc. and had nothing to do with the US/Israel vs Iran conflict.

That ain't mean shit. What really matters is ground reality and that's told in earlier comments. Leaders do some shit in their capacity but actual actions of government matter in long term gain.

Foreign policy of India has been the same irrespective of who comes into power. You are confusing internal rhetoric with foreign policy.
You can be a good friend with Israel and Iran. And if you don’t have any ill- will for either, it is normally accepted too.

You are mixxing up the idiot lapdogs of the ruling party with the foreign policy of the country.
the ruling party has some of the worst vitriol spewing leaders but that is for internal optics, the foreign policy has stayed consistent.

Not really. Let's see, you have 1.4 B people who are panicking due of potential gas shortage, which is happening because of war started by countries on other side of the world.
Also, you can't afford to get involved so you try to do your best which is to look after your citizens livelihood. Hey, you get ships carrying gas passed through the strait!
So, a flex? I don't know. But if it is, not really weird one I guess.

Enough journalists abuse Israel too and believe it or not, many abuse India as well.
There is no single opinion in a country of 1.4 Billion people
