1st ship passes through Strait of Hormuz after ceasefire: media 08.04.2026

The first vessel has transited the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian authorization following the implementation of a US-Iran ceasefire early Wednesday, as reported by the semi-official Mehr News Agency. Ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic corroborates the resumption of maritime traffic in the crucial waterway. This development follows US President Donald Trump's announcement on Tuesday of a two-week suspension of attacks on Iran, contingent upon Tehran's agreement to immediately and safely reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi affirmed Iran's commitment to ensuring safe passage during this period, provided attacks against Iran cease, and stated that "defensive operations" would halt. Israel's Prime Minister's office indicated compliance with the truce but vowed to continue operations in Lebanon.
