Iran Allows Pakistani Ships to Cross Strait of Hormuz Amid Ongoing Conflict

Iran has permitted two Pakistani vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz, offering temporary relief to shipping concerns in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. The ships Multan and P-Akili successfully cleared the strait and are currently heading toward Karachi, with arrival expected on March 31.

Pakistani Tankers Multan and P-Akili Safely Clear Strait

Maritime sources confirmed that Multan, a general cargo vessel, and P-Akili, carrying more than 80 million litres of crude oil, were previously held after Iranian forces tightened control over the strait. Iranian authorities later allowed both ships to proceed and reportedly escorted them until they crossed the sensitive flashpoint line.

This marks the second time Iran has permitted Pakistani ships safe passage since the conflict began on February 28, following another tanker transit on March 16.

Diplomatic Mediation Efforts Continue Amid Rising Regional Tensions

The clearance of the vessels comes as Islamabad works with Turkiye and Egypt to mediate tensions linked to the ongoing regional conflict. Military actions and retaliatory strikes across several countries have kept the Middle East on high alert, disrupting trade routes and global markets.
