Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz was 'completely open' for all commercial vessels. Shortly after, President Donald Trump publicly thanked Iran for reopening the strategic waterway. This development marks a significant shift from Iran's recent military closure of the strait and the subsequent series of attacks on shipping. The reopening follows intense diplomatic pressure and a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
