Iran has announced a temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks, following a ceasefire announcement by US President Donald Trump. The move is seen as a significant step towards easing tensions in the Gulf, but both sides have emphasized that their commitments are conditional and reversible.
Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks, allowing ships to pass through the strategically critical waterway. This move is part of a conditional de-escalation framework tied to parallel commitments from the US. Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced that Tehran would permit safe maritime passage, subject to coordination with Iranian authorities. The US has suspended planned military strikes on Iran for the same two-week period. The Strait of Hormuz is central to the standoff, with its reopening offering relief to energy markets and global trade flows. The two-week ceasefire is seen as a fragile but significant pause in the crisis.
