What Happened
The United States and Iran have reportedly reached a framework agreement to end the conflict that began on February 28, which included a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The parties are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding on June 19 to formally reopen the waterway. Despite the announcement, global shipping firms, including Nippon Yusen and Mitsui Lines, maintain that transit will only resume once safety is verified, citing concerns over potential minefields and the need for concrete operational details.
