Bloomberg: Iran agreed to let a Pakistani tanker pass before it was targeted near Hormuz

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Pakistan negotiated with Iran for the safe passage of the LNG tanker Al Mayeda. Iranian authorities reportedly gave the vessel a green light only hours before it was attacked on Friday while heading to the strait with a cargo from Qatar.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula through which a large share of the world's oil and LNG shipments pass. Shipping there has repeatedly been affected by tensions between Iran and Gulf states and the United States.
