A person familiar with the matter said Iran has outlined details regarding the
temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Under the early phase of a US-Iran
ceasefire plan brokered with Pakistan’s mediation, Iran was expected to allow a
limited number of vessels to transit daily. However, following the failure to
enforce a Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, Tehran suspended the arrangement. The source
said Iran has set three conditions for passage through the Strait of Hormuz:
vessels must be commercial ships with no warships permitted, and neither ships
nor cargo may be linked to “belligerent states”; vessels must use
Iranian-designated routes; and transit must be coordinated with Iranian forces
responsible for the waterway.
