Iran has approved the transit of 20 additional Pakistani-flagged ships through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, according to Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. The move comes amid ongoing conflict and severe disruption to global shipping, with only limited vessels currently allowed through the key energy corridor. The Strait of Hormuz—through which a significant share of the world’s oil supply passes—has become a geopolitical flashpoint, with transit increasingly dependent on case-by-case approvals.
Analysts say the decision signals a potential easing of tensions and a diplomatic opening, while global markets continue to monitor risks to energy flows and supply chains. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
