Iranian Vessels Transit Strait of Hormuz as US Lifts Naval Blockade

Five Iranian ships – three oil tankers and two cargo vessels – have successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz after the United States eased its naval restrictions, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The move follows a US advisory that maintained port restrictions until a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran is formally signed on June 19. The IRGC hailed the passage as a significant breakthrough and the first practical outcome of a new framework agreement finalised by Iran, the US and Pakistan. Analysts say the resumption of commercial shipping could help lower regional tensions, reassure international carriers and stabilise global energy supplies by restoring free navigation through one of the world’s busiest oil routes.
