Iran announced that the critical global shipping lane is \u201ccompletely open\u201d after being mostly closed since the war between the U.S. and Iran broke out earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,\u201d Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arahgchi wrote Friday in a post to social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Araghchi said Tehran was allowing the passage of all commercial vessels on a \u201ccoordinated route\u201d through the waterway, suggesting Iran is still exercising control over which ships pass through, undermining Trump\u2019s claims of freedom of navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waterway remains \u201ceffectively closed\u201d as vessel movements are confined to corridors that require approval, according to Kpler, a global trade intelligence source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump reacted enthusiastically to Iran\u2019s announcement but said the U.S. blockade remains in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE. THANK YOU,\u201d Trump posted to Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news comes as the 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire takes hold, potentially lifting a major hurdle to a peace deal with Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another TruthSocial post, Trump claimed that Iran has agreed to hand over its \u201cnuclear dust,\u201d an apparent reference to its enriched uranium. Iran has rejected this claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe U.S.A. will get all Nuclear \u201cDust,\u201d created by our great B2 Bombers \u2013 No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developments come after Trump announced Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire after meeting in Washington. The development could help clear a major hurdle in talks between the U.S. and Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
