At no time did Iran ever claim that the Strait of Hormuz is “completely open“. Never. Not ever did they claim this.
Anyone who claims Iran said this is a liar
Except, that they did.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X on Friday.

Am I a liar?
Are Al Jazeera’s reporters liars?
Is Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi lying by declaring it?
What is your angle here.
There is no possible reading of that article that could lead an intelligent person to that conclusion.
I hope you’re a liar, because the alternative is that you’re an idiot— or, worse, that you believed what Trump said, and are some kind of MAGA sycophant
I don’t know or care what Trump has said about it. There are many dozens of news articles from reputable organizations reporting the exact same message, because it’s an exact quote from the Iranian Foreign Ambassador.
All you’ve proven is that you can’t read.
OP:
“Anyone claiming Iran says the straight is open is a liar”
Me: Exact quote from Iran saying the straight is “completely open” with supporting evidence.
And then you insult my intelligence and accuse me of Trump/MAGA shit?
Oh seeing your comment history I think this is like a pattern with you. So long, won’t miss you.
Israel once again ignored the cease fire. They even killed French soldiers
In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon
Didn’t Israel break that within hours?
Sounds about right.
No, it’s that you don’t understand the reporting.
Iran has opened the strait for limited navigation, under their control by their navy. They have opened it with tolls. Not just anyone can pass through. Only those whom they approve can pass through.
So, yes, it seems like you’re either lying or don’t understand the news article you read.
Even your quote states some of the limited conditions under which ships can pass. Nothing about it is “completely open”. Its openness is extremely limited.
I don’t know or care what Trump has said about it. There are many dozens of news articles from reputable organizations reporting the exact same message, because it’s an exact quote from the Iranian Foreign Ambassador.
All you’ve proven is that you can’t read.
You:
“Anyone claiming Iran says the straight is open is a liar”
Me:
Exact quote from Iran saying the straight is “completely open”.
You: No… Uh… Not like that! Let me rephrase!
Rephrase all you like, you’re still incorrect
Is it false that Abbas Araghchi wrote “the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire”? Regardless of how the situation actually is, did he write that?
regardless of whatever idiot wrote what, the reality is what it is.
I speak to facts. you can waste time arguing for whatever inaccuracies you like, but stop wasting my time with them.
I am still missing some information in the article about what they mean by open. Does it mean ships can pass after paying between the Qeshm and Larak islands? Or between the islands free of charge? Or will they remove all of the mines so the strait would be actually open as it was?
Petition to rename it to “Schrödingers straight”
That sounds like he’s really questioning his sexuality
I object to you making this sound more fun that it is
