Iran says it will allow Japanese ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz
AI Summary
Amidst a conflict involving the US and Israel, Iran has stated that Japanese ships will be permitted to transit the Strait of Hormuz. This announcement follows earlier threats from the IRGC to block the waterway to enemy vessels, effectively halting traffic. According to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the strait remains open to non-hostile nations, and Iran is willing to provide safe passage to Japanese ships upon request and coordination. Japan relies heavily on the Strait of Hormuz for its crude oil imports from the Middle East. Recently, some ships from countries like China, India, and Pakistan have been allowed to pass through the strait, using a "safe corridor" near the Iranian coastline.
