Iran has threatened to destroy ships that pass through the Strait of Hormuz without permission, despite a ceasefire pact that includes the opening of the waterway. The threat comes after President Trump announced that Iran agreed to the safe opening of the strait, a key condition of the ceasefire deal.
Iran's navy has warned foreign ships that they will be destroyed if they try to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission from Tehran. The threat comes despite a ceasefire pact that includes the opening of the waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial chokepoint through which over a fifth of the world's seaborne oil flows annually. Iran had previously closed the strait in retaliation against US-Israeli strikes. A senior Iranian official said the strait could be reopened in a limited way under Iran's control. The US military will be monitoring the situation to ensure Iran complies with the ceasefire. The ceasefire is fragile, and Iran has warned that it will return to war if the US wants to go the same way.
