Hormuz open only under ceasefire conditions, Iran says

A spokesperson for Iran’s Defence Ministry said the Strait of Hormuz is “only open under ceasefire conditions and conditionally,” according to Fars News Agency.

“Military vessels and those affiliated with hostile forces do not have the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz," Fars quoted Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik as saying. 

The spokesperson said the current situation in the strait is “temporary” and that the waterway could be closed again if conditions change in Lebanon, according to Fars.
