The reported development is significant, but it needs careful qualification. Reliable reports confirm that Pakistan has notified six land routes to allow third-country goods to move to Iran through Pakistani territory, using Karachi/Port Qasim, Gwadar, Gabd and Taftan-linked corridors. This was done under Pakistan’s “Transit of Goods through Territory of Pakistan Order 2026.” However, I do not find equally firm confirmation that Pakistan has openly allowed Iranian oil exports through Karachi or Gwadar. Therefore, the confirmed position is: Pakistan has opened a legal transit framework for Iran-bound goods; the oil-export dimension should be treated as a possible strategic implication, not yet a fully verified fact.
