President Donald Trump has announced that Iran has completely opened the Strait of Hormuz and is working to remove sea mines. 
On Friday, the president took to Truth Social to reveal that the strait is “completely open and ready for business and full passage.” 
However, he stated that “the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran, only, until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete.” 
Donald Trump Truth Social post 
Trump said the process should move rather quickly in that most points have already been negotiated. 
The announcement comes amid the shaky ceasefire continuing between the United States and Iran.
