While announcing the Iran-US peace deal, Trump also confirmed the reopening of Strait of Hormuz and assured that trade via the route can resume.
"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!," read a post by Donald Trump on Truth Social.
"With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!," he stated in another post.
