Maritime Traffic Resumes in Strait of Hormuz After Ceasefire

Maritime traffic has resumed in the Strait of Hormuz following the ceasefire announced by the United States and Iran, according to the vessel tracking service MarineTraffic. The temporary reopening of this strategic waterway is intended to allow for negotiations. US President Donald Trump did not remain silent, stating that Iran will not be allowed to enrich uranium. Additionally, the American leader has warned of applying sanctions (50% tariffs) to any country that supplies weapons to Iran. According to MarineTraffic, the Greek-owned bulk carrier NJ Earth and the Liberian-flagged Daytona Beach have already passed through the strait after departing from Bandar Abbas. The service notes that hundreds of vessels remain in the area, including 426 oil tankers. US Vice President J.D. Vance described the two-week ceasefire agreement as "fragile" but stated that his country maintains a "clear military advantage". He warned that if the Iranians are not willing to act in good faith, they will realize that the United States is not a country to be trifled with.
