Iran has announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open for commercial shipping during a ceasefire period linked to the wider regional truce involving Lebanon. Iran’s foreign minister said all vessel movements will follow coordinated routes set by the country’s maritime authorities, easing concerns over disruptions in the strategic waterway.
The announcement comes after a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel and amid signals of possible renewed talks between the United States and Iran. The conflict, which began in late February, has caused heavy casualties and driven up global oil prices. The latest developments are being viewed as a potential step toward broader peace negotiations in the region.
