Iran has indicated that the Strait of Hormuz remains accessible to ships that are not considered hostile, offering some relief amid ongoing disruptions to global energy supplies.
The announcement, shared via the United Nations and the International Maritime Organization, states that vessels can pass safely if they comply with Iran’s security measures and do not support hostile actions.
However, maritime movement through the strait continues to be severely limited compared to pre-conflict levels. The slowdown has driven up oil prices, with analysts warning of further increases if the situation does not stabilize.
In a related development, Donald Trump has mentioned that negotiations are in progress to end the conflict, leading to a positive response in Asian stock markets.
