The Iranian speaker further said that Iran is ready to punish US allies, and Iran’s missiles are fully ready for the arrival of US forces.

Pakistan’s Strait of Hormuz transit has received a major boost after Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed approval for more vessels.

He said that 20 additional Pakistan-flagged ships have now been allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This step will help ease shipping movement in the region.

He added that this development is an important step toward improving trust among countries. It also supports ongoing diplomatic efforts.

The deputy prime minister stressed that dialogue, diplomacy, and confidence-building remain the only way forward. He said all countries should continue working together for lasting peace.
