Tehran — Iran’s Foreign Minister has announced via a post on his official social media account that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened to commercial ships of all countries.
The announcement comes in the context of a two-week ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and the United States, one of the key conditions of which was the reopening of the strategically vital strait.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints, through which approximately 20 percent of global oil supply passes. Its reopening is expected to bring significant relief to international energy markets and global shipping trade.
International observers have described the development as an important step toward reducing tensions in the region.
