The United States has lifted its naval blockade on Iran, allowing all types of vessels to enter and leave Iranian ports and coastal areas. The announcement was made on Thursday by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which confirmed that ships traveling to and from Iran’s ports in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman will no longer face restrictions from U.S. forces. However, CENTCOM stated that American naval presence in the region will continue to ensure that all aspects of the recent agreement with Iran are properly implemented.

The decision follows a digital agreement signed between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Donald Trump, which took effect immediately. The accord includes provisions to end hostilities, address the situation in Lebanon, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and remove the U.S. naval blockade on Iran. CENTCOM did not disclose further details of the agreement’s terms.

Both sides are expected to begin a 60-day negotiation process to reach a final deal covering Iran’s nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions, according to the report.
