Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz is now “completely open” for commercial traffic, a major step toward ending a war with the U.S. and Israel that’s sent energy prices surging.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X. Ships can move on the “coordinated route as already announced” by Iranian authorities.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel on Thursday evening, a key move that eased tensions with Iran.
