[Iran Releases Detained Oil Tankers, Malaysian Mediation Pays Off, Strait of Hormuz Shows Signs of Easing] ⑴ Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamed stated on the 28th that after multiple communications and a phone call between Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Iranian President Pezechiyan, Iran responded positively and agreed to allow several Malaysian oil tankers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz to pass. ⑵ Mohamed pointed out that although the tankers have been granted passage through the Strait of Hormuz, they still need to wait for a suitable window of opportunity, and the current tensions in the Middle East remain a key factor affecting shipping. ⑶ In his recent phone call with Pezechiyan, Anwar expressed his deep condolences for the victims in Iran and condemned any attacks against civilians. ⑷ As a vital global oil transport route, the passage status of the Strait of Hormuz directly affects the stability of the energy supply chain. The release of Malaysian oil tankers demonstrates that diplomatic channels are playing a role, but regional shipping still faces the continued test of uncertainty.
