Trade between Pakistan and Iran continues uninterrupted despite the escalating regional conflict, with border crossings and transit routes operating efficiently, Pakistan’s ambassador to Tehran said on Tuesday.
Ambassador Mudassir Tipu confirmed that multiple green channels at land border points are facilitating swift movement of goods, while congestion issues are being jointly addressed by Pakistani and Iranian authorities.
In a post on X, Tipu thanked the Iranian government for providing “full facilitation” to Pakistani trade during these “challenging times” and said Islamabad is extending maximum cooperation to ensure trade flows remain smooth. The embassy remains in close contact with both official and private stakeholders to monitor and support operations.
The announcement comes as the conflict, which erupted on February 28, escalates into a wider confrontation involving Iran, the United States and Israel. Iranian missile and drone strikes on US-linked targets have disrupted key shipping lanes, including the Strait of Hormuz.
On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi publicly thanked Pakistan for its “strong solidarity,” while reaffirming Tehran’s commitment to defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Officials say coordinated measures on both sides are helping maintain the flow of goods and transit trade, ensuring that economic exchanges continue even as security risks persist in the region.
