Pakistan, April 17 -- Iran has announced the opening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz for all commercial vessels during the remaining duration of its ceasefire with the United States. The decision marks a significant shift in maritime restrictions affecting global trade routes. The development is important as the strait is a critical passage for international oil and cargo shipping.
