Middle East crisis liveIran reopens strait of Hormuz but US blockade remains
"Iran’s foreign minister annunched that passage for all commercial vessels though the strait of Hormuz strait is “completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire”. Donald Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate with a series of rapid-fire posts, but details of the reopening remain unclear – Iran’s announcement came with the caveat that ships would have to take a specified route. Arsenio Dominguez, the secretary-general of the UN’s International Maritime Organisation, said his agency is “currently verifying the recent announcement”.
Trump was clear, however, that even with the reopening of the strait, the US naval blockade of Iran will remain in place until the conflict is fully concluded. He also said that Iran has agreed to never close the strait again, but that has not been verified.
The oil price tumbled following Iran’s announcement about the reopening of the strait of Hormuz. Crude oil has plunged on hopes that energy supplies could resume after weeks of disruption. Brent crude, the benchmark for oil traded globally, has plunged below $90 a barrel, a 10% fall."
