Iran live updates: Iran fully opens Strait of Hormuz, Trump says

President Donald Trump has announced that Iran is fully opening the Strait of Hormuz, in a post on social media.

"IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE," Trump said in a post on social media Friday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also announced the strait's opening on social media Friday.

"In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran," Araghchi wrote.

Tens of thousands of displaced Lebanese people were moving south on Friday, following the announcement of a 10-day ceasefire, headed back toward the homes they abandoned even as Israel issued new warnings.

"Out of concern for your safety and the safety of your families' members -- until further notice -- you are requested not to move south of the Litani River," Avichay Adraee, an Arab-language spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, said in a social media post.

Israel's air raids and ground operations against Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon pushed many locals north in recent weeks.

Israeli prior to the ceasefire had warned anyone south of the Litani River, a geographic boundary between southern and northern Lebanon, that they should move north for their safety.

Israel said its operations targeted members and infrastructure belonging Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, both in southern Lebanon and in the suburbs of Beirut.

President Donald Trump said a ceasefire would begin at 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, news that followed talks between Lebanese and Israeli officials in Washington earlier in the week.

President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House that the U.S. is "very close" to a deal with Iran.

Negotiators led by Vice President JD Vance met with Iranian leadership Pakistan last weekend for direct negotiations to end the war, but they did not reach an agreement.

The Republican-led House on Thursday narrowly failed to adopt a war powers resolution that attempted to curtail President Donald Trump's military actions in Iran.

The final vote was: 213-214 with Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, voting present.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the only Republican to vote in favor. Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution.

On March 5, the House failed to adopt an Iran war powers resolution by a vote of 212-219.

The Senate on Wednesday also failed to advance a similar Iran war powers resolution.
