The process of lifting maritime restrictions on Iran has entered its first practical phase, with five Iranian vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the reported timeline, the strait is expected to reopen fully by Friday.

First Iranian Vessels Transit the Strait

The Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), announced that the process of lifting the maritime blockade on Iran has officially entered into effect.

According to the agency, five Iranian vessels successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz and crossed the blockade boundaries. Of the five ships, three were oil tankers, while the remaining two carried basic goods and essential commodities destined for Iran.

Trump and Tehran’s Positions on Reopening the Strait

According to Tasnim’s report, Donald Trump had emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz should be reopened and the blockade removed immediately following the announcement of the electronic understanding.

However, Iran rejected the proposal in that form, and both sides ultimately agreed that the official reopening process of the Strait of Hormuz would begin after the physical signing of the memorandum of understanding scheduled for Friday.

Timeline for Full Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz

Under the agreement reached electronically between the United States and Iran over the past two days, the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen completely to commercial shipping without restrictions on Friday.

This move is considered one of the earliest and most immediate outcomes of the agreement between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending maritime tensions.
