It could be a turning point in the joint US and Israeli war against Iran: the Strait of Hormuz has been fully reopened, at least for the remaining period of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
The announcement was made via the social network
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire,” Araghchi wrote.

Movement along the route will be “coordinated”, as announced by the Maritime Ports Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Iranian official added in the same message.
The US president was quick to react to the long-awaited news, thanking Tehran for reopening the strait through a publication in Truth Social.
“IRAN JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE IRAN STRAIT IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL CASSAGE. THANK YOU!” Donald Trump said in capitulations.
Faced with some doubts about whether the US naval blockade would remain active after the Iranian regime’s announcement, Trump confirmed: the US military blockade of Iran remains in force, but we now need to fully understand what that means.
The confirmation was first given by a US official to Reuters, who spoke on condition of anonymity. A few minutes later, Donald Trump wrote again in Truth.
“The Strait of Hormuz is completely open and ready for business and full passage, but the naval blockade will remain in full force and force as far as Iran is concerned,” he stressed.
And so it will be “until our transaction with Iran is 100% complete.” “This process should be very quick, as most of the points have already been negotiated. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
