The New York Post reports that the "Strait of Hormuz ‘completely open’ as Trump celebrates tumbling oil prices, says Iran removing all sea mines." From the article:
Iran’s foreign minister announced Friday that the Strait of Hormuz is now “completely open” for all commercial ships — as President Trump said the US would take all of Tehran’s leftover nuclear fuel.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire,” Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said in a post to X.
The cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon went into place on Friday and is scheduled to last 10 days.
President Trump is also indicating that Iran will be turning over all of its enriched uranium.
Update: Now that the U.S. has forced Iran to lift its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the UK Prime Minister announced a "joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation" without tolls or restrictions on routes. However, that hasn't sit very well with President Trump, who has warned them to "stay away". While Iran has agreed to let ships sail through the Strait, the U.S. blockade of ships traveling to or from Iran remains in place until a full and final deal is reached with Iran.
