As the ongoing US-Iran tensions disrupt maritime shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, Pakistan has activated a land-based trade route to transport stranded cargo into Iran.
Islamabad announced the opening of an overland corridor to bypass the naval bottleneck. The move aims to keep critical goods flowing despite the blockade, which has snarled supply chains and raised concerns about regional economic stability.
Pakistan's initiative provides an alternative pathway for exports and imports, leveraging road networks that link the two neighboring countries. Officials hope the corridor will ease pressure on traders and maintain trade ties, even as the geopolitical standoff shows no signs of immediate resolution.
