Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi announced the Strait of Hormuz to be "fully open" for the "rest of the ceasefire."
Subsequently, the Iranian authorities announced the re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz and accused the United States of "violating agreements." At the same time, in the Persian Gulf on Saturday, April 18, several oil tankers turned back after attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
