Iran has permitted Chinese vessels to transit through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz starting Wednesday. This decision comes after a period during which Iran had significantly restricted shipping in the strait, a critical route for global oil transportation, following the escalation of conflict with the United States and Israel that began on February 28. The move is seen as a shift in Iran's maritime policy amid ongoing tensions in the region.
