Sharjah 24 – AFP: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that the strategic Strait of Hormuz, vital for the global oil trade, will remain "completely open" as long as a ceasefire in the Middle East lasts.

"The passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire," Araghchi said on X.

It was not clear whether he was speaking of the 10-day truce agreed by Lebanon and Israel that went into effect at midnight or an earlier two-week truce between Iran and the United States that began on April 8.
