Iran’s parliament speaker announced Friday that vessel passage through the Strait of Hormuz will now be determined selectively, reversing an earlier declaration that the waterway was “completely open.” The announcement came after President Trump publicly welcomed Iran’s initial openness to the strait, which had been restricted during regional tensions. The development signals renewed friction between the U.S. and Iran over the critical shipping route.
This is a developing story reported by major outlets. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
