First ships pass through Strait of Hormuz after US-Iran ceasefire

Two ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since Iran agreed to reopen the strategic waterway as part of the ceasefire deal with US, said Marine Traffic. "The Greek-owned bulk carrier NJ Earth crossed the Strait at 08:44 UTC, while the Liberia-flagged Daytona Beach transited earlier at 06:59 UTC," the maritime monitor said. Iran claimed "victory" in the war.
