Iraq has secured confirmed authorization for its oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz, with President Amidi pledging Iraqi territory will not be used for regional military operations. This arrangement, facilitated by Iran, is assessed to be a diplomatic maneuver to decouple Iraqi energy exports from broader regional security tensions. However, maritime security experts claim increased vulnerability in the Strait, calling for enhanced naval presence.
