After accepting the temporary ceasefire, Abbas Araghchi said Iran will keep the Strait of Hormuz open for the next two weeks while the Iranian military monitors traffic through the waterway. However, Tehran is not treating the move as an unconditional reopening. Iranian officials have linked continued access to the absence of further military action, making it clear that the arrangement could change if the situation escalates again. That decision carries global significance because the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important energy routes. Around 20 percent of global oil flows through the passage each day, so even limited disruption can quickly affect shipping costs, fuel prices, and market confidence. By keeping the strait operational, Iran has eased immediate fears of a wider energy shock. ### A Pause, Not a Settlement Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council approved the ceasefire as part of a broader effort to reduce tensions within the two-week window announced by Donald Trump. For now, the agreement halts active military operations and gives negotiators more time to work through unresolved issues. Still, officials on all sides have avoided describing it as a lasting settlement. Instead, they view it as a temporary measure meant to stop the conflict from expanding while backchannel talks continue. At the same time, Iranian leaders have chosen their language carefully. Rather than presenting the ceasefire as a concession, they have described it as a reciprocal arrangement that depends on restraint from every side involved. That approach allows Tehran to participate in the truce without appearing to surrender leverage.
