The move signals relief for global trade and shipping routes. Iran has allowed all commercial ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz during the remaining ceasefire period. This step is seen as a major shift in restrictions that had slowed global trade.
The Iranian foreign minister said the decision supports the ongoing ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. It is aimed at reducing pressure on shipping and bringing some stability back to the region.
The Strait of Hormuz has been a key tension point in recent months due to regional conflicts. Shipping disruptions had impacted global oil supply and raised concerns in energy markets.
In 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, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.
Officials confirmed that commercial vessels will be given safe passage through the waterway. However, they did not clearly state whether military restrictions would also be relaxed.
They added that monitoring systems will remain active throughout the ceasefire period. This means the situation will continue to be closely watched for any risks.

Experts believe this step could help stabilize global oil supply in the short term. But they warn the situation is temporary and depends on how long the ceasefire holds.
Any new conflict or escalation could quickly reverse this relief for shipping routes. Markets are now closely watching how long this calm situation will last.
This decision gives short relief to global trade and oil supply. But the situation is still uncertain and can change quickly.
