Iran has announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels for the duration of the truce between Israel and Lebanon, making it part of the ceasefire agreement. Despite the move, shipping conditions remain fragile, with vessels navigating under strict coordination and global carriers still weighing security risks in the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was announced by<\/a> Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi.<\/p>\n

He said the strait would be fully open throughout the ceasefire period, along the agreed route, ensuring free passage for commercial vessels through one of the world’s key transport corridors.<\/p>\n

“Passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared fully open for the remainder of the ceasefire period,” said Seyyed Abbas Araqchi.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump confirmed the resumption of shipping and stressed that the strait is operating normally.<\/p>\n

“The Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for operation and free passage of ships,” said Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he emphasized that the naval blockade against Iran remains in effect<\/strong> until the negotiation process is completed.<\/p>\n

“The naval blockade on Iran will remain in full force and effect until our deal with Iran is 100 percent complete,” Donald Trump said.<\/p>\n

Separately, Trump announced a ban on Israel from carrying out strikes on Lebanese territory.<\/p>\n

“Israel will no longer bomb Lebanon. The United States prohibits it from doing so,” said Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The previous day, on April 16, a 10-day ceasefire was agreed<\/a> between Israel and Lebanon, which took effect at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The agreement provides for a pause in hostilities with the possibility of further negotiations.<\/p>\n

Before the ceasefire took effect, hostilities intensified: Israeli forces launched strikes on southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah carried out missile and drone attacks on northern Israel. According to the Lebanese side, the strikes resulted in deaths and injuries.<\/p>\n

The Israeli army reported the destruction of the group’s launchers, headquarters, and fighters on the eve of the agreement coming into force.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to move to direct negotiations with Lebanon on the disarmament of Hezbollah and the normalization of relations. According to journalists, during the contacts, the parties discussed a ceasefire, de-escalation of hostilities, and the prospects for a broader peace agreement.<\/p>\n

Earlier, it was reported that French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u00a0met with representatives\u00a0from about 30 countries to discuss the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz<\/a><\/span>. The United States’ participation in the conference is not planned, and the initiative is being implemented with states that are not parties to the conflict.<\/p>\n

Recall that US President Donald Trump said that the country’s naval forces will soon begin the process of blocking ships attempting to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz.<\/a><\/p>\n
