The Celestyal Discovery, a Malta-flagged cruise ship, has become the first passenger vessel to transit the Strait of Hormuz since the onset of the West Asia conflict. The ship departed from Dubai after being docked for nearly 47 days due to heightened tensions in the region. According to MarineTraffic, the vessel is currently en route to Muscat, Oman, and is expected to arrive later today. Iran has asserted that all maritime movements through the Strait will be strictly regulated, requiring passage through designated routes with Iranian approval. Iranian officials, including Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, emphasized that the regulations governing the Strait will be determined by the situation on the ground rather than external commentary. Concurrently, US President Donald Trump remarked on the situation, indicating that any agreements with Iran would not take effect until fully finalized, while claiming that the Strait is open for business. The developments highlight the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region, particularly concerning maritime security and diplomatic negotiations.
