title: "Iran grants permission for Iraqi oil tankers to pass through Strait of Hormuz"
description: "Most outlets led with the news that Iran has permitted Iraqi oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, citing repeated requests from Baghdad and quoting Iran’s state news agency IRNA. The framing was largely consistent, with slight variation in phrasing such as \"granted permission\" versus \"allowed,\" and some outlets specifying the day of the report (Saturday). A few included the term \"strategic\" to describe the Strait of Hormuz, while others omitted it."
