Iran Grants Permission for Iraqi Oil Tankers to Pass Through Hormuz

Iran has granted permission for several Iraqi oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state news agency IRNA. This move comes after repeated requests from Baghdad through various channels. IRNA reported that obtaining special permission for Iraqi tankers was one of Baghdad's main requests during Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf's visit to Iraq.

Iraqi President Nizar Amedi confirmed on Saturday that Iran had facilitated the passage of vessels carrying Iraqi oil through the Strait in recent days. However, he noted that the issue remains complicated and ships continue to face attacks in the area.
