President Donald Trump has publicly thanked Iran for announcing the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for passage, referring to the strategic waterway as the 'Strait of Iran' in his statement. The announcement follows a series of developments regarding the strait's status, including Iran's earlier declaration of a full opening tied to a ceasefire.
