Since the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the U.S. was reached, under which Iran agreed to temporarily reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, two vessels have already crossed it, according to data from Marine Traffic, LETA reports citing AFP.
The Greek-owned bulk carrier "NJ Earth" and the vessel "Daytona Beach," flying the flag of Liberia, have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, reports Marine Traffic.
As reported, the U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, about an hour before the expiration of the ultimatum issued to Iran, and Tehran agreed to temporarily reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping.
Iran characterized this ceasefire as its victory and announced that it had agreed to negotiations with the U.S., which will begin on Friday in Pakistan, regarding a path to end the war.
Trump stated that he spoke with leaders of Pakistan, who "asked me to delay sending destructive force to Iran tonight."
"If the Islamic Republic of Iran agrees to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, then I agree to suspend bombings and attacks on Iran for a two-week period," Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.
