TEHRAN — US President Donald Trump said Monday that ships were again moving through the Strait of Hormuz and the vital oil route would be “completely open” by Friday, after Washington and Tehran announced a deal to end the Middle East war. The reopening of one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints would mark a major step toward ending months of deadly conflict and economic turmoil triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. “Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said, adding later that he did not […]...Keep on reading: Strait of Hormuz to reopen Friday under US-Iran deal – Trump

Trump says US-Iran deal is signed and Strait of Hormuz opens Friday Trump says the agreement with Iran is "all signed" and that the Strait of Hormuz will be "completely opened" on Friday. Speaking on Monday, Trump said Iran would not obtain a nuclear weapon under the deal, and Washington and Tehran would "hopefully" build a "good relationship". He also said oil prices were "plummeting" and that stocks were rising after the announcement.

Strait of Hormuz to reopen after agreement is signed, Trump says US President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen following the formal signing of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, clarifying earlier remarks that suggested the waterway would reopen immediately. Trump initially announced on Truth Social that an agreement had been reached with Iran and declared that the strait would be opened, telling global shippers to “let the oil flow”. However, the president later issued a follow-up statement indicating that the reopening would be delayed and would instead coincide with the formal signing of the agreement. That signing is expected to take place on 19 June, according to Shehbaz Sharif, whose government has played a mediating role in the negotiations. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant share of the world’s oil exports passes, remains a central element of the emerging agreement between the United States and Iran.

Trump gives conflicting timeline for Strait of Hormuz reopening Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen after the planned signing of an Iran peace deal on Friday next week, appearing to contradict his earlier claim that the vital waterway would open immediately. The statement also differs from Iran’s position that the Strait of Hormuz will begin reopening from tonight. Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday that "this Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region."
