What Happened
A US-Iran ceasefire agreement aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, blocked since February strikes triggered Iranian restrictions. More than 800 vessels remain trapped in the Persian Gulf. Key details remain unclear regarding safe passage duration, transit payments, and enforcement mechanisms. Shipowners express cautious optimism but warn resuming normal traffic requires time and confirmed safety guarantees. Two ships attempted initial transit Wednesday morning.
