Iranian ships pass as U.S. lifts anti-Iran naval blockade
Five Iranian ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz as the United States lifted its naval blockade after a peace memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington.
The Iranian local media reported that the vessels were identified as three oil tankers and two ships carrying essential goods.
The U.S. imposed a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz in April, preventing ships travelling to and from Iranian ports from transiting the waterway.
This was in response to Iran’s tightening of its grip on the waterway following joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on the country, which started on February 28 and continued for 40 days.
Iran, the U.S., and Pakistan announced early Monday the finalisation of the MoU to end the war following weeks of negotiations.
The MoU would be officially signed on Friday in Switzerland.
After the announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the lifting of the anti-Iran naval blockade.
