Amid tense Middle East tensions, this passage is seen as a positive signal, indicating that communication mechanisms are functioning.

On the morning of March 25, the oil and gas sector opened sharply lower, with Chuyuan Petroleum (300164.SZ) dropping over 10%. Intercontinental Oil & Gas (600759.SH), Shouhua Gas (300483.SZ), Shandong Molu (002490.SZ), Xin Natural Gas (603393.SH), Zhongman Petroleum (603619.SH), China National Petroleum (601857.SH), and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (600938.SH) also saw significant declines.

According to reports, Xinhua News Agency cited sources on the 24th, stating that Israel’s Channel 12 TV reported that the U.S. proposed a peace agreement with Iran containing 15 key points, including Iran’s commitment to never develop nuclear weapons and opening the Strait of Hormuz as a “free sea area.” The report said the agreement’s main points include the U.S. demanding Iran pledge never to develop nuclear weapons, cease uranium enrichment activities within Iran, abandon support for “proxy” groups, open the Strait of Hormuz and ensure it remains a “free sea,” and limit the number and range of ballistic missiles. In response, the U.S. would lift all sanctions on Iran and assist in developing civilian nuclear projects.

On the 24th, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted on social media that he is ready to host talks between the U.S. and Iran. Shehbaz stated that Pakistan welcomes and fully supports ongoing dialogue efforts to end Middle East conflicts, which align with regional and international peace and stability. With the consent of the U.S. and Iran, Pakistan is willing to serve as a host to facilitate meaningful and decisive talks to resolve the current conflict.

Additionally, according to CCTV Finance, Thailand’s Foreign Minister confirmed on March 24 that after negotiations with Iran and Oman, a Thai oil tanker that had been anchored in the Persian Gulf for several days successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz and is expected to arrive in Thailand in early April. Amid tense Middle East tensions, this passage is viewed as a positive signal, demonstrating that communication mechanisms are working.
