The ceasefire, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and confirmed by Iranian authorities, will allow safe passage through the vital shipping route, which is critical to global oil and gas trade.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated that navigation through the strait would resume under coordination with Iran’s armed forces, noting that operations would take into account “technical limitations.”
The development follows weeks of heightened tensions after large-scale attacks involving the United States and Israel reportedly disrupted activities in the region. As part of the ceasefire terms, Israel is also expected to comply with what Trump described as a “double-sided ceasefire.”
Pakistan played a mediating role in the agreement, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcoming the truce and inviting both parties to Islamabad for further negotiations aimed at reaching a lasting resolution.
According to U.S. officials, Iran has submitted a 10-point proposal considered a workable basis for continued talks, reportedly including calls for the lifting of sanctions.
The reopening of the Strait is expected to ease pressure on global energy markets, as the waterway is one of the most critical routes for international oil shipments.
