The declaration was made by Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who stated that maritime passage through the strait would remain “completely open” for the duration of the ongoing ceasefire. The move comes a day after a truce was reached between Israel and Lebanon.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Araghchi wrote on X.
