Strait of Hormuz
The U.S. Navy ended its blockade of Iranian ports and coastal waters following the signing of a U.S.-Iran memorandum aimed at ending the conflict, with U.S. Central Command saying all enforcement operations related to the blockade have ceased.
Under the agreement, Iran is required to allow commercial vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz toll-free for 60 days.
As of Thursday, three supertankers from Saudi Arabia loaded with 6 million barrels of oil have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, according to data from the global trade intelligence firm Kpler.

As the agreement begins to reshape conditions on the ground, U.S. officials have sought to defend its terms. Vice President JD Vance on Thursday said Tehran would receive no direct U.S. funding and that any economic relief would be contingent on Iran fulfilling its commitments under the accord.
