After nearly four months of blockade, oil and gas ships have resumed transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The first tankers set off on a route agreed with Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first to pass through the strait were the gas tanker Mraikh, carrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar, and the empty tanker Ye Chi. Traffic resumed after an interim agreement between the United States and Iran on the operation of one of the world’s key maritime routes came into effect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, shipping has not yet fully resumed. Shipping companies are awaiting additional safety guarantees and clarifications regarding the conditions for passage through the strait after the long blockade.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has severely restricted oil and liquefied gas exports from the Persian Gulf. Some shipments were made only with special arrangements with Iran or by ships that turned off their transponders to conceal their location.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Mraikh gas tanker, chartered by QatarEnergy, is heading to the Pakistani port of Qasim. The restoration of supplies is of particular importance to Pakistan, which has been facing a gas shortage due to the suspension of exports from Qatar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, Qatar expects to resume most of its exports through the Strait of Hormuz within two months. This requires returning a sufficient number of tankers to the region and ensuring their safe passage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for global trade in oil and liquefied natural gas. The resumption of shipping could reduce the risks of energy shortages and ease pressure on global prices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier, “Pryamy” reported that the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding<\/a> , which is intended to become the basis for further negotiations between the countries. The document outlines key principles of cooperation, including on issues of the nuclear program, sanctions, and security in the region.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump also announced<\/a> that a peace agreement had been reached between the United States and Iran. According to him, the agreement includes the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the US Navy’s naval blockade.<\/p>\n
