Iran has approved the transit of a Qatari gas shipment bound for Pakistan through the Strait of Hormuz, according to an unnamed source cited by news agencies.
The Iranian approval comes against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Gulf, where the Strait of Hormuz remains a vital passage for global oil and gas trade. Iran controls the eastern shore of the strait, giving it authority over transiting vessels.
The decision follows a period of relative improvement in regional relations, particularly after the Iran-Saudi Arabia reconciliation agreement mediated by China last year. Pakistan is seeking to secure its natural gas needs, while Qatar is working to strengthen its regional commercial partnerships.
