Iran will allow more Pakistani ships through Strait of Hormuz

Pakistan’s foreign minister said late Saturday that Iran has agreed to allow 20 additional Pakistani-flagged ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Ishaq Dar wrote on X that two Pakistani ships would cross the strategic waterway daily under the arrangement.

‘‘This is a welcome and constructive gesture by Iran and deserves appreciation,’’ Dar said. ‘‘It is a harbinger of peace and will help usher stability in the region.’’

He said the move marked a meaningful step toward de-escalation and would strengthen efforts for peace.
