The ceasefire has so far had minimal impact on the movement of hundreds of vessels that have been stuck in the region since the start of the war in late February. United States President Donald Trump even said that “Iran is doing a very poor job” at reopening the vital waterway.

Oil Price Plunge After Iran Allows Safe Passage Through Strait of Hormuz

Trump described it as “dishonorable” as the Iranian ruling class continues to block the passage of vessels. Trump wrote in Truth Social. “That is not the agreement we have!”

As of Friday morning, only 7% of the normal traffic has been restored through the Stait. This prompted Trump to post:

“Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!”

While Iran stalls on the reopening of the Strait, the U.S. declared that this was a vital condition for the ceasefire. Not only that, but Iran has already accused the U.S. of violating the agreement.

High-level talks between the U.S. and Iran are slated to start on Saturday in Islamabad, with the mediation of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Pakistan’s government acted as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran to secure the two-week ceasefire.

The U.S. delegation will be led by Vice President Vance. Iran has yet to announce who will be its lead negotiator. –KPBS,
