Iran and Qatar have officially resumed commercial maritime transport between the two countries, ending a nearly five-month hiatus caused by the conflict in the region. The news was confirmed on Sunday by Iran's commercial attaché in Doha, Abbas Abdolkhani, according to Iranian state media.
The resumption of commercial shipping follows a provisional agreement reached last month between Tehran and Washington, which ended hostilities after a four-month conflict and envisioned a return to pre-war levels of maritime traffic in the Persian Gulf. However, maritime traffic in the region remains sensitive due to the security situation.
According to Abdolkhani, the sea line between the Iranian port of Dayyer and the Al Ruwais port in Qatar has been restored to operation following coordination between the Iranian Embassy in Doha and Qatari authorities.
The two ports, located opposite each other on the Persian Gulf coast, serve mainly regional trade. The Iranian port of Dayyer was hit several times during the conflict, which led to the suspension of trade activity.
Signs of a return to normality in regional trade also appeared at the end of June, when an official from the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran announced that Iranian goods had resumed customs clearance at the United Arab Emirates' Jebel Ali port, the largest commercial port in the region.
The resumption of the movement of goods between Iran, Qatar and other Persian Gulf countries is seen as an indicator of the gradual recovery of economic activity after months of tensions and military clashes in the region.
