Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz 'completely open' for commercial vessels during a ceasefire, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has issued strict conditions that require all ships to obtain prior permission and transit only through designated routes. Military vessels remain banned from the strait. This conflicting information has led to confusion, as Iranian state media criticized the foreign minister's announcement as 'flawed and incomplete.' US President Donald Trump welcomed Iran's declaration but emphasized that a naval blockade against Iran would continue until a broader agreement is reached. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for global oil transport, with approximately 20% of the world's oil passing through it, making the situation critical for international shipping and trade.
