Part of Trump criticized Obama's 2015 nuclear accord while the US eased sanctions on Iran, a deal reported on by Pakistan.

How will the US-Iran peace agreement affect the operational status of the Strait of Hormuz?

The Strait of Hormuz is set to reopen for free passage under US-Iran peace deal. The agreement mandates the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global energy shipments. Under the terms, the strait will open without tolls for two months, with the goal of restoring commercial traffic to prewar levels within 30 days. This follows a period where Iran had shut the strait, causing major global energy disruptions.

  • The deal opens the strait without tolls for two months.theglobeandmail.com

  • The closure of the strait caused the biggest disruption of global energy supplies in history.arynews.tv

Why it matters

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical maritime choke points, through which a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas once passed. Its closure, caused by Iranian attacks, drove up global energy prices and made basic goods more expensive worldwide. The reopening is vital for global economic stability and energy security.

The ability of the US and Iran to reach a deal, mediated by Pakistan, signals a major shift in Middle East geopolitics. The agreement provides a major win for the global economy by restoring the flow of oil and natural gas, which had been severely disrupted since the conflict began on February 28.

What we don't know yet
