Tehran : Strait Of Hormuz 'Completely Open' For Remaining Period Of Ceasefire

Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said in a post on X that passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is "declared completely open" for the remaining period of the ceasefire, in line with the ceasefire in Lebanon.

Despite a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire that expires on Tuesday, Iran had so far not lifted its blockade of the waterway. Tehran had said there would be no deal as long as Israel was striking Lebanon.

The U.S. military began blocking shipping traffic in and out of Iran's ports on Monday. US President Donald Trump says Iran war should end 'soon' ; Britain and France co-chair meeting on Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump said that US naval blockade will remain.
