The Strait of Hormuz will be opened immediately after the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. This was announced on June 3 by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
"Immediately after the signing of the memorandum of understanding, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, and it will open very quickly," he said during the signing of executive orders at the White House.
Trump also added that minesweepers — mine defense ships — are operating in the waters of the Gulf, which are conducting mine clearance, and, according to the head of the White House, they have already defused more mines.
On June 3, the IRGC reported that Iran attacked an American ship in response to a strike on an Iranian tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. It was clarified that late in the evening, American forces attacked an Iranian tanker in the Strait of Hormuz with the use of aviation ammunition, as a result of which the engine room was damaged.
On June 1, Trump announced that a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States could be concluded within the next week. The American leader also noted that he had not approved the previous version of the document, as he expects a number of additional points to be included in the memorandum.
