Three Iranian-flagged tankers and two other freight tankers carrying basic necessities have crossed the Straitof Hormuz without incident after overcoming the US-imposed naval blockade, according to maritime sources compiled by Iranian public television Press TV.
These ships, which had been standing for months due tothe blockade imposed by the US military in the area, managed to cross the strait on Monday night, one day after the announcement of the interim agreement between Washington and Tehran.
U.S.President Donald Trump announced this agreement on Sunday, according to which the treaty with Iran includes the establishment of a ceasefire and the reopening of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian authorities have also confirmed the agreement and stressed that Washington "has been forced to accept its terms."

On Monday, Trump declared thatthe Strait has begun to be gradually unblocked by the departure of several oil-loaded ships. The agreement between the US and Iran will be ratified next Friday, June 19, in Geneva, Switzerland, as announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important strategic maritime passages in the world, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, through which much of the oil trade passes.
