The United States and Iran have reached a framework agreement to end their ongoing conflict, with US President Donald Trump confirming that the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will be lifted.
The announcement marks a decisive shift in the geopolitical landscape, removing the immediate threat to one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.
Mediators have confirmed that the two nations have agreed to establish direct communication lines to ensure the Strait remains open to commercial shipping.
This arrangement includes commitments to end ongoing hostilities and stabilize transit through the narrow waterway, which handles a significant portion of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows.
The resolution comes after weeks of heightened tension that saw the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threaten to close additional export corridors serving US allies.
The previous escalation had triggered sharp volatility in energy markets and raised fears of a prolonged supply disruption.
