        "summary": "Iran is enforcing a selective blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, restricting passage to tankers from countries aligned with its adversaries while granting limited access to neutral nations, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government has secured approval for Pertamina's fleet to transit the strait following intensive diplomatic coordination, though operational readiness such as insurance and crew preparation is still required. Among Asian countries, China, Pakistan, India, and Malaysia have also received permissions, whereas only Spain has been approved among European nations, highlighting the geopolitical tensions affecting global oil and gas supply routes.",
        "content": "<p>Iran\u2019s authorities continue to impose a selective blockade policy in\nthe Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital sea route that serves as the\nlifeline for approximately one-fifth of the world\u2019s oil and gas supply.\nNavigation access in this area is specifically restricted based on the\ncountry of origin affiliation of the vessels, with fleets from nations\nin conflict with Tehran prohibited from passing, while limited access is\ngranted to neutral countries, including Indonesia. Regarding\ndevelopments on the Indonesian fleet, the Iranian government has given\nthe green light. Based on an official statement from the Ministry of\nForeign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemlu RI), this approval\nis the result of intensive coordination between Kemlu RI, the Indonesian\nEmbassy in Tehran (KBRI Teheran), Pertamina, the Iranian Embassy in\nJakarta, and relevant authorities in Tehran. The Iranian government has\nconveyed positive considerations regarding security guarantees for the\npassage of Pertamina Group\u2019s vessel fleet through the Strait of Hormuz.\nNevertheless, the passage cannot yet be carried out directly. Kemlu RI\nnotes that follow-up to Iran\u2019s positive response still requires\noperational technical readiness from Pertamina, which includes resolving\nshipping insurance protection as well as crew readiness. Kemlu RI and\nKBRI Teheran emphasise that they will continue to coordinate with all\nrelevant parties to ensure the smooth and secure passage of Pertamina\u2019s\nfleet in the area. In the Asian region, several countries have been\nobserved to have obtained special permissions to operate their fleets.\nChina has received full security guarantees from Tehran for all its\ntanker ships, although there was a delay in departures over the weekend\ndue to technical reasons. Additionally, countries such as Pakistan,\nIndia, and Malaysia have also secured similar permissions after\nbilateral communications with Iranian authorities. On the other hand,\ndifferent treatment is applied to European countries. To date, Spain is\nthe only country in that region to have received passage permission\nbecause it is deemed to continue complying with international law and\nmaintaining a neutral stance. Meanwhile, access requests from France and\nItaly have reportedly not yet received official approval from the\nIranian side. The following is an update on the detailed status of\ncommercial vessel permissions based on the country of origin crossing\nthe Strait of Hormuz based on the latest information as of Saturday\n(28\/3\/2026).<\/p>",
