Islamabad, Pakistan – Web Desk: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced that Iran has agreed to allow 20 additional Pakistan-flagged vessels to pass through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, describing the move as a constructive step toward regional stability.
In a statement posted on X, Dar said the decision would enable the vessels to transit the waterway at a rate of two ships per day. He welcomed the development as a “positive and meaningful step” that would contribute to peace and strengthen confidence-building measures in the region.
He emphasized that dialogue, diplomacy, and mutual trust remain the only viable path forward amid ongoing tensions in the Gulf.
The announcement follows earlier reports that a Pakistan-flagged tanker, MT Karachi, had successfully passed through Iranian waters with special permission and docked at Karachi port carrying approximately 80 million liters of crude oil.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, and any facilitation measures are closely watched by global energy markets.
