Fox News reported on Sunday, citing a senior official, that lifting restrictions and maritime measures imposed on Iranian ports will coincide with the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and oil tankers.
According to the source, the network stated that the anticipated understandings include Tehran’s commitment to guaranteeing freedom of navigation through the strait without any obstacles immediately upon signing the agreement with Washington, while the efforts of the American forces in the first phase will focus on clearing the waterway and removing mines to ensure the safety of maritime passage.
Washington and Tehran are expected to sign a preliminary agreement later today to reduce regional tensions and secure waterways, following a wave of maritime tensions that erupted in late February and resulted in severe disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which hampered global energy supply chains.
