Iran's Ministry of Defense has issued a statement clarifying the conditions for the Strait of Hormuz's current status. The ministry states the strait is only open due to the ceasefire and in a limited manner, with the condition that military vessels and those related to hostile forces do not have the right to pass. It warns that the situation is temporary and will return to the previous state if pressure is applied on Lebanon. This statement reinforces the rules previously announced by the IRGC Navy and frames the opening as a conditional, reversible measure tied to the ceasefire.
