A peace agreement between Iran and the United States is insufficient to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic, according to weapons expert Hans Liwång. Previous Iranian threats regarding mining the strait necessitate joint, confidence-building actions from both nations to reassure international shipping companies. Liwång suggests that many shipping firms will remain hesitant even with a signed agreement due to lingering security concerns. The expert believes a demonstrable commitment to safety and stability is crucial for restoring normal passage. The situation requires more than just diplomatic resolutions; concrete measures are needed to alleviate anxieties within the shipping industry. Re-establishing trust is paramount for resuming regular operations in this vital waterway. The strait’s security remains a key factor in global trade.
