Iran on Friday declared the Strait of Hormuz fully open to commercial traffic during a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. <\/p>\n
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the route has been declared fully open for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for the remaining period of the ceasefire,” Foreign Minister Sayyid Abbas Araghchi said in a social media post. However, the ships must pass through a “coordinated route” announced by Iran’s maritime authorities, Araghchi said.<\/p>\n
Oil prices fell more than 11% after the announcement. <\/p>\n
Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting at 5 pm ET on Thursday. Israel’s military campaign against the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah has been a sticking point in talks between the US and Iran. <\/p>\n
