Iran agrees to open Strait of Hormuz, but only if attacks stop

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the achievement of a two-week truce with the United States and said that Tehran would resume shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

This is stated in the post of the Minister on X.

According to him, the decision was made in response to diplomatic initiatives, including Pakistan's request for a ceasefire and proposals for negotiations between the parties, including Donald Trump's position on peace plans.

At the same time, Iran has put forward a condition: the safe passage of ships will be guaranteed only if there are no attacks on the country. In this case, the Iranian military will cease defense operations, and traffic through the strait will be coordinated with the Iranian armed forces and subject to technical restrictions.

Earlier, Trump demanded that Iran open the strait by the night of April 8, threatening to strike at the infrastructure in case of refusal.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Trump announced "the death of an entire civilization" if Iran does not agree to a peace deal or unblocks navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
