Iran Opens Strait of Hormuz for Commercial Shipping Amid Lebanon Ceasefire

Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz fully open for all commercial vessels. This decision, announced by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, is effective for the remaining duration of a ceasefire in Lebanon. The announcement was made via social media platforms, confirming that all commercial vessels are permitted to transit without restriction. However, passage must adhere to coordinated sea routes previously published by the Iranian Ports and Maritime Organisation. This move aims to facilitate maritime traffic through the critical waterway during the ceasefire period.
