What happened

Agreements between the United States and Iran imply that the Strait of Hormuz will be open for navigation immediately after the sides sign a memorandum of understanding, US President Donald Trump has told reporters.

Why it matters

"One of the other things that's important, and very important, is that immediately upon signing the memorandum of understanding, the Hormuz Strait will open, and it'll open up quickly," he said.

Common ground

In Trump’s words, US minesweepers have already been deployed to the area.

CORROBORATED

Multiple independent sources, including the BBC and other web search results detailing the full text of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), confirm that upon signing, Iran will make arrangements for safe passage and the US will begin removing its naval blockade. This directly supports the claim that the agreements imply the Strait will open immediately after signing.
