BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 4. Iran has allowed the
passage of ships carrying humanitarian aid and essential goods from
or to Iranian ports in the Gulf of Oman, a letter from the head of
the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture's Trade Development Department,
Houman Fathi, to the Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization, says,
Trend reports.
The letter noted that the Iranian government and the Armed
Forces have announced their agreement on the mentioned issue.
Additionally, the letter pointed out that the necessary
obligations for the passage of ships in the Gulf of Oman or moving
towards Iran, based on protocols, must be fulfilled, and which
ships will pass through the strait.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military
operations against Iran, striking major cities, including Tehran.
The White House cited missile and nuclear threats originating from
the Islamic Republic as justification for the attacks. The strikes
reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
along with several other senior officials. In response, Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale
retaliatory operation against Israel and has targeted U.S.
facilities across Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE,
Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria using ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have risen significantly.
Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz and allows passage only to
vessels it deems necessary.
