US President Donald Trump has said that the naval blockade of Iran will remain "in full force" until a deal is reached. He wrote about this on Truth Social, Reuters reported on Friday, April 17.
Trump confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz is ready for the passage of ships, but the United States will continue to block it.
"The Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for operation and full passage, but the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect, as it applies only to Iran, until our agreement with Iran is 100% complete. This process should happen very quickly, as most of the points have already been agreed upon," Trump wrote.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on April 17, Iran announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for the duration of the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel.
On April 16, US President Donald Trump announced that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed on a 10-day ceasefire.
