Iran says it will allow the passage of “all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz” during the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Oil prices plunged on the news.
Iran on Friday declared the Strait of Hormuz completely open to commercial traffic during the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said in a social media post. However, vessels must transit through a “coordinated route” announced by Iran’s maritime authorities, Araghchi said.
Oil prices plunged more than 11% after the announcement.
Israel and Lebanon agreed Thursday to a 10-day ceasefire starting at 5 p.m. ET that evening. Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon against the militant group Hezbollah, who are close allies of Iran, has been a sticking point in negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
Trump celebrated the news on Truth Social.
IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE. THANK YOU!
Trump said yesterday that Iran agreed to give the United States back nuclear dust.
Trump told reporters, “It’s very important that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that.”
President Trump claimed Thursday that the US and Iran have a “good” chance of finalizing a peace deal in the coming days after the Islamic Republic agreed to two major demands put forward by the White House — and teased that he may go to Pakistan himself to seal the agreement.
“It’s very important that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a two-day western trip.
“Iran’s agreed to that, and they’ve agreed to it very powerfully.”
Trump then claimed that Iran “agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that’s way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers,” referring to the roughly 970 pounds of enriched uranium buried under three Iranian nuclear sites damaged by US strikes on the country in June 2025.
Peace through strength.
