Iran Allows Another 20 Pakistani Ships to Pass Through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran has once again allowed 20 Pakistani-flagged ships to sail safely through the Strait of Hormuz. This was stated by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
“I wish to announce good news that the Iranian government has allowed another 20 Pakistani-flagged ships to cross the Strait of Hormuz,” said Ishaq Dar via social media platform X.
“Two ships will cross the strait each day,” he continued.
Ishaq stated that Iran’s decision is an important step that will strengthen joint efforts to achieve peace in the region.
