Blue House Welcomes US-Iran Ceasefire Agreement... Opening of Strait of Hormuz Is Significant

The Blue House described the conclusion of the ceasefire negotiations between the United States and Iran as “welcome news” and stated that it was “progress in a desirable direction.”

A senior official from the Blue House, speaking with reporters accompanying President Lee Jaemyung on his official visit to the Vatican on the 15th (local time), said, “There have been several rounds of talks for a ceasefire, and the process has been quite tumultuous, but it appears that an agreement has finally been reached.”

The official further emphasized, “It is particularly meaningful for us that the opening of the Strait of Hormuz is included as part of the agreement.”

However, the official added, “Of course, we need to continue monitoring how the agreement will be implemented,” and noted, “While we are hopeful, we must also see whether the Strait of Hormuz will be opened in the short term. The way the nuclear issue is discussed in the follow-up agreements could also affect the ceasefire itself, so we are closely watching the developments.”

Previously, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 14th (local time) via social networking service (SNS) that “the agreement with Iran has now been finalized,” and he gave his full approval for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the U.S. Navy’s maritime blockade.
