Iran allowing Malaysian vessels to pass in Strait, PM says after talks with regional leaders

  • On Thursday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced Iran is allowing Malaysian vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz after holding talks with regional leaders including Egypt and Turkey.
  • The process of releasing Malaysian oil tankers and workers is underway, Anwar said, as part of diplomatic efforts to facilitate peace in the Middle East amid the regional crisis.
  • Negotiations remain complex because "Iran feels it has been deceived repeatedly and finds it difficult to accept steps toward peace without a clear and binding security guarantee," Anwar said.
  • Anwar emphasized that "the effects of the blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, the war, and the halted supply of oil and gas all have an impact on us."
  • Malaysia plans to maintain oil price subsidies while reducing monthly allocations of subsidized fuel to manage the broader impact of supply disruptions on the economy.
