Iran has announced alternative shipping routes for vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz, citing risks from sea mines in the main shipping lane. This decision comes as part of a two-week ceasefire agreement with the United States, which was reached just before a deadline set by President Trump. The strait is crucial for global oil transport, and the temporary reopening aims to alleviate the severe restrictions that had previously slashed maritime traffic by 95%. Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued guidelines for safe navigation through the strait, signaling a cautious return to normalcy in oil shipping operations.
