Iran has signaled a partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that ships not deemed hostile may pass through under specific conditions. The move comes after weeks of severe disruption in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
Tehran clarified that vessels must avoid any involvement in actions against Iran and follow declared security protocols to ensure safe passage. However, detailed guidelines on these requirements have not been publicly outlined.
Shipping traffic remains far below normal levels, with only a few vessels navigating the route daily. The decline in activity has contributed to rising global energy prices and market volatility.
At the same time, Donald Trump has suggested that diplomatic efforts are ongoing to resolve the conflict, fueling hopes for stability in international markets.
