Iran is allowing Malaysian vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the Malaysian prime minister said.
“We are now in the process of releasing the Malaysian oil tankers and the workers involved so that they may continue their journey home,” Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said in a televised address yesterday, according to Reuters.
The address came after Ibrahim held talks with the leaders of Iran, Egypt, Turkey and other regional countries about efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
“But it is not easy, as Iran feels it has been deceived repeatedly and finds it difficult to accept steps toward peace without a clear and binding security guarantee for their nation,” he said.
