Tehran says cargo clearance has resumed after the US carried out attacks on Iran, following a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, according to the IRNA news agency.
An Iranian trade official says containers that could not be processed due to “wartime conditions” are now being cleared from the UAE’s Jebel Ali Port to Iran, adding that trade is expected to return to pre-war levels gradually.
The UAE port of Jebel Ali is a major regional transit hub for Iranian goods. Trade between the UAE and Iran has been affected by regional tensions and Western sanctions regimes imposed on Iran.
