European states may have asked Iran for Hormuz transit

 Several European countries asked Tehran's permission to pass the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian IRIB News Agency reported on Saturday.

The outlet shared the news on its X profile, without specifying which countries sought transit permission for its vessels. It was noted that Chinese, Pakistani and Japanese ships have transited the Strait "with permission from Iran’s navy."

United States Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed recently that the Strait of Hormuz will become less important for oil transit as the countries in the region build pipeline capacity.
