Trump: Naval blockade against Iran will remain in place until the peace deal is implemented.
US President Donald Trump stated that the blockade of Iranian seaports remains in place despite the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and will remain in place until the deal with Tehran is 100% implemented.
On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in response to the ceasefire in Lebanon, declared that all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz are fully open for the duration of the ceasefire. Trump then referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the "Strait of Iran," thanking Tehran for its opening.

As a reminder, the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon has entered into force.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that, with the ceasefire in Lebanon now in effect, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would resume without restrictions for the duration of the ceasefire.
"The Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for operations and shipping, but the naval blockade will remain in full force, as it only applies to Iran, until our deal with Iran is 100% completed! This process must proceed very quickly, as most of the points have already been agreed upon," Trump wrote on the social media platform TruthSocial.
On February 28, the US and Israel began striking targets in Iran, killing over 3,000 people. On April 8, Washington and Tehran announced a two-week ceasefire. Free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz was cited by the United States as one of the conditions for maintaining a ceasefire with Iran, which, in turn, indicated a ceasefire in Lebanon as one of the conditions for the ceasefire.
