Qatari LNG tanker sailing towards Strait of Hormuz

A Qatari LNG tanker, Al Kharaitiyat, began sailing towards the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first transit since the start of the Iran-Iran war. This transit is part of a deal between Qatar and Pakistan to address Pakistan's gas shortage, with Iran's assistance. The move is seen as a step towards de-escalation and restoring Qatar's LNG export capacity, which was impacted by Iranian attacks.
