Iran’s foreign minister appears to have declared the Strait of Hormuz “completely open” for the “remaining period of ceasefire”. Seyed Abbas Aragchi said the move would include the passage of “all commercial vessels” through the strait. Meanwhile President Trump has posted on Truth Social platform, saying that the US blockade of Iranian ships and ports will “remain in full force”, despite Iran’s announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is reopening to shipping. Trump says the US blockade will stay until its negotiations with Iran are “100% complete”. Defence and security analyst Michael Clarke and Middle East commentator Tara Kangarlou analyse this latest development.
