Thailand, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Iran have reached an agreement allowing some ships from the three countries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

On March 28th, local time, the governments of Thailand, Pakistan, and Malaysia stated that they have reached agreements with Iran, allowing some ships from the three countries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Thailand's Prime Minister, Anutin, announced on the 28th that in response to the crisis caused by the Middle East situation leading to rising oil prices domestically, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been actively communicating with relevant countries. According to the agreement reached with Iran, Thai oil tankers can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Dar, also announced on social media that Iran has agreed to allow an additional 20 Pakistani-flagged ships to pass and that two ships will pass through the strait each day. On the same day, Malaysia's Foreign Minister, Mohamad, stated that the Iranian government has allowed several Malaysian oil tankers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz to pass. However, given the current tense situation in the Middle East region, despite the permission granted for the oil tankers to pass through the strait, they still need to await an appropriate "passing window."
