Iran has stated that it will allow ships carrying “essential goods” to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. However, it remains unclear exactly what constitutes such goods and whether restrictions on certain countries will remain in place.

Additionally, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will visit the U.S. from April 8 to 12. During the trip, he will hold a series of meetings, including a planned conversation with Donald Trump.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he had received a message from the new leader of the Iranian regime requesting a ceasefire. Trump is willing to consider this possibility only on the condition that the Strait of Hormuz is fully opened for the free and safe passage of ships.
As a reminder, the IRGC announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and is threatening a “harsh response” to ships.
The Strait of Hormuz could also become the “Trump Strait.”
