Tehran has taken a number of measures to allow ships not affiliated with the United States or Israel to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the office of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said.
"In any case, Iran has taken measures to ensure the safety and security of navigation and passage of ships through this waterway and will establish the necessary coordination for the passage of ships not belonging to or affiliated with the aggressors and not participating in the aggression," Pezeshkian said during a phone call with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Monday.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
The escalation around Iran has led to the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for deliveries of oil and liquefied natural gas from the Persian Gulf countries to the global market, and has also affected the level of oil exports and production in the region.
