Analysis Summary
On April 17, Foreign Minister Araghchi actually announced the Strait of Hormuz was 'completely open' to commercial traffic during the Lebanon ceasefire. Iran reversed this the next day, reinstituting blockade citing the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports — not frozen assets. The post conflates two different statements and presents an unverified quote lacking confirmation from official Iranian sources or credible news organizations.
