Pakistan has increased its imports from Iran to $248 million in the first two months of the fiscal year, a 17 percent rise compared to the same period last year. The surge comes as oil prices climb due to escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. The government has announced a petrol subsidy to ease the financial burden on citizens amid the rising costs. This increase in trade reflects the growing economic interdependence between the two nations. Analysts suggest that the situation is likely to continue as global markets remain volatile.
