Iran announced that its ports are ready to support shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, providing maritime services, technical assistance, and medical support to commercial vessels. This follows a temporary pause of the US military’s ‘Project Freedom’ operation in the strait due to progress in negotiations regarding the US-Israeli war on Iran. This announcement could be interpreted as a sign of improving US-Iran relations.
