Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open for the remainder of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Iran had previously refused to open the strait during the Islamabad round of negotiations, conditioning the move on a ceasefire in Lebanon as well.
This announcement came hours after Trump declared a #ceasefire in #Lebanon.
According to Iranian Tasnim, Iran has imposed three conditions for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz:
1. Ships must be commercial; the passage of military ships is prohibited, and neither the ships nor their cargo should be related to ‘hostile’ countries.
2. Ships must pass through the route designated by Iran.
3. The passage of vessels must be coordinated with the #IRGC Navy.
