The development follows the announcement of a ceasefire, which authorities say has halted ongoing hostilities. Officials confirmed that shipping activities through the vital route have restarted, raising expectations of improved global oil supply.
A senior Iranian official stated, “The Strait is now open, and oil exports will continue without disruption.” The official added that the ceasefire agreement is being observed, with no reports of fresh attacks.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, linking major producers to global buyers. Its reopening is expected to ease supply concerns and may influence international oil prices in the coming days.
The ceasefire comes after a period of conflict that reportedly resulted in the loss of several high-ranking figures. Authorities have not released full details but emphasized a commitment to stability moving forward.
Another government spokesperson said, “We have embraced peace, and there will be no further escalation. Our focus now is on stability and economic recovery.”
Observers say the situation remains under close watch as global markets respond to the renewed flow of oil and reduced tensions in the region.
