Ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz for the first since since President Donald Trump halted strikes on Iran.
The US and Iran agreed a two-week ceasefire last night, in which the Islamic Republic agreed to open up the critical shipping lane after blocking it in retaliation to strikes.
There are roughly 800 ships waiting to pass through the strait.
The vital waterway, in which typically 20 per cent of the world's oil passes through, was blocked by Iran on February 27.

However, since the ceasefire was agreed by the US and Iran, brokered by the Pakistani Government, the Islamic Republic confirmed ships could pass through the strait, so long as vessels liaise with Iranian military.
In a statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said: "For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations."
