Iran Opens Strait Of Hormuz During Ceasefire

Iran has announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open to commercial shipping for the duration of the ongoing ceasefire, according to a statement by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

The announcement comes amid a temporary halt in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Araghchi said in a social media post that all vessels would be allowed safe passage through the strategic waterway, provided they follow a designated route set by Iranian maritime authorities.

This route runs near Larak Island and is intended to reduce risks from potential sea mines. Earlier restrictions had limited transit to ships explicitly cleared by Iran and not linked to the United States or Israel.

The opening is tied to a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. A separate two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran is also in place but is due to expire soon. The move signals a temporary easing of tensions in a critical global energy corridor.
