Iran has imposed conditions on the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, despite a ceasefire agreement with the US. The Iranian government requires vessels to obtain official permission and adhere to technical restrictions and coordination with Iranian armed forces before passing through the critical waterway.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is subject to technical restrictions and mandatory coordination with Iranian armed forces. Vessels must obtain official permission from Tehran to pass between two Iranian islands and through Iranian territorial waters. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital waterway connecting the Gulf to the Arabian Sea, with a fifth of the global oil supply passing through it. Iran's partial blockade of the strait had disrupted global trade and driven up oil prices before the ceasefire. The ceasefire agreement was brokered by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who invited both delegations to Islamabad for further negotiations. Iran's Supreme National Security Council confirmed the truce, but emphasized that it does not signify the termination of the war.
