A US official stated that shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz will remain unrestricted. The official confirmed that no approvals, permissions, tolls, or charges are required for passage.

The US previously committed to returning to a status quo where no party controls the lanes or transit ability. A June interim agreement to reopen the strait for 60 days collapsed over escalating hostilities. On Hyperdash,
