US military lifts Strait of Hormuz naval blockade after Iran MOU signed

The US military lifted its naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz following a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US, Iran, and intermediaries to end the Middle East conflict. The blockade, active since mid-April, had restricted maritime traffic to Iranian ports. Oil tankers have now resumed free movement through the area. Additionally, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtab Khamenei has endorsed direct negotiations with the US to resolve the ongoing tensions and ensure regional stability.
