Amid the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has sent global energy markets into turmoil, the Pakistan Navy has launched Operation Muhafiz-ul-Bahr, marking a historic shift from coastal defense to a regional role as a “Net Security Provider,” escorting vital oil and LNG shipments through volatile waters.

In this episode of The Blue Newsroom hosted by Amber Shamsi, the program explores Pakistan’s bold maritime strategy, including the Navy’s escort missions, the contrast with stranded Indian-flagged ships, the IRIS Dena tragedy, and the rerouting of Saudi oil through the Red Sea.

Expert Dr. Huma Baqai also weighs in on whether Pakistan is poised to redefine regional maritime security and safeguard the Blue Economy.
