Iran announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping on Friday, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. He stated on social media that all commercial vessels could now use the strait, provided they follow the safe lanes designated by Iran’s port and maritime authorities. The announcement coincided with a ceasefire in Lebanon, which Iran cited as part of its coordinated approach.
Despite the declaration, international maritime trade groups remain cautious and are assessing the safety of the route. Ship tracking data indicates that vessel movement through the strait is still very limited. Iranian state television later quoted a senior military official reiterating that only commercial ships may pass through the designated routes, while military vessels are prohibited.
The designated lanes are believed to correspond to two routes previously set by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) last week, reflecting continued control measures even after the reopening.
