Iran has said that the Strait of Hormuz is now open for commercial ships during a temporary pause in fighting between Israel and Lebanon.
Iran’s foreign minister shared this update on social media, saying that all commercial ships are allowed to pass through the strait during the ceasefire period. However, ships must follow specific routes set by Iranian maritime authorities to ensure safety and control movement in the area.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important shipping routes in the world, especially for oil transport. Keeping it open is important for global trade and energy supply.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump welcomed Iran’s decision to reopen the strait. However, he also made it clear that the United States will continue its naval blockade near Iranian ports until a formal agreement is reached with Iran.
Overall, while the reopening of the strait is a positive step, tensions between the United States and Iran remain. The situation will depend on future talks and whether both sides can reach a lasting agreement.
