Pakistan has announced the opening of six trade corridors for Iran under the 'Transit of Goods Through Territory of Pakistan Order 2026'. The move allows Iran to use Pakistan’s Karachi and Gwadar ports for imports and exports to third countries. The decision comes as Iran faces severe trade disruptions due to ongoing conflict since February 28 and U.S. sanctions blocking access to its own ports in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce, the new order aims to facilitate transit trade and strengthen regional connectivity. Commerce Minister Jam Kamal said the initiative will enhance Pakistan’s strategic importance as a logistics hub. Analysts view the decision as a sign of growing trust between Islamabad and Tehran, noting that Iran requested the corridor amid wartime shortages of essential goods. Former trade officials and economists said the arrangement follows international law and should not trigger U.S. sanctions, as it provides transit rather than direct trade.
The first shipment under the new corridor has already traveled from Karachi through Iran to Uzbekistan, signaling Pakistan’s ambition to become a regional trade center and secure alternative routes beyond Afghanistan.
