Iran is considering the possibility of passing a limited number of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, subject to the transition to payments in yuan, CNN reports, citing a senior Iranian official.
"Iran is considering the possibility of passing a limited number of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, provided that oil cargo is traded in Chinese yuan," the report said.
According to the source, this is one of the parts of Tehran's new plan to control shipping in the strait.
On Thursday, NDTV reported that at least two Indian tankers — Pushpak and Parimal — safely passed through the strait despite the fact that ships from the United States, Europe and Israel continue to face restrictions.
Due to the US-Israeli operation against Iran, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key supply route to the world energy market from the Persian Gulf countries, has practically stopped.
On Monday, Brent crude oil prices rose above $ 119 per barrel for the first time since June 2022, showing an increase of 29-31 percent. The cost of gas is also increasing, especially in Europe. Since the end of February, stock prices have increased there by more than 100 percent.
