Iran president vows to facilitate passage of Japanese ships through Hormuz

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday promised Japan to enable the passage of its ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been mostly closed since the start of the Middle East war in February.

"We will try to provide a smooth and easy passage for Japanese ships," Pezeshkian told Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi during a phone conversation, according to the presidency.
