Pakistan's Foreign Minister Praises Iran's Permission for 20 Pakistani Ships Through Strait of Hormuz
Amid heightened tensions following a US-Israeli attack on Iran, Tehran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz to Washington and Tel Aviv. The threat led to unprecedented rises in oil prices in the United States.
Iran subsequently granted permission for 20 ships flying the Pakistani flag to pass through the strait.
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar described Iran's action as a "positive, constructive, praiseworthy innovation and a step towards peace." Dar reposted the message on US President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform.
Oil prices in Pakistan have not yet risen as a result of the tensions.
