Iranian state television reported on Monday that five vessels, including three oil tankers and two cargo ships, have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz. This movement occurs as the U.S. begins to lift maritime blockades, signaling a potential shift in regional naval policy.

According to Reuters, a U.S. official stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open and free of fees for a period of 60 days, a provision established under a recent agreement between Washington and Tehran. The development follows an earlier announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump, who declared that the strait would be reopened to maritime navigation following the signing of a peace accord between the United States and Iran last Friday.
