Bangkok: Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed the development during a press conference, stating that the agreement with Iran ensures safe transit for Thai oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
The move comes at a time when the strait has been effectively closed following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, raising global concerns over disrupted oil supplies and energy security.
The agreement is expected to ease mounting fears in Thailand over fuel shortages and supply chain disruptions, offering a crucial lifeline for the country’s energy imports.
