US President Donald Trump expressed support for Iran's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is open for commercial shipping, calling it a positive development amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations in West Asia. Trump noted that naval restrictions on Iran would remain until negotiations are finalized, although most key points have reportedly been agreed upon. Seyed Abbas Araghchi, an Iranian official, confirmed that uninterrupted passage for commercial vessels would be allowed through this critical oil transit chokepoint during the ceasefire period. This announcement follows a 10-day ceasefire agreed upon by Trump, Israel, and Lebanon, raising hopes for broader de-escalation involving Iran, the US, and Israel. The Strait of Hormuz is significant for global energy markets, as it facilitates a substantial share of the world’s oil shipments. The ceasefire discussions gained momentum after talks in Islamabad, where Iranian negotiators linked regional stability to the resolution of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. While Israel has shown a willingness to pursue peace, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that troop positions will remain unchanged for the time being.
