A ship has passed through the Strait of Hormuz hours after a ceasefire between the US and Iran. The vessel, likely an energy tanker, marked the first movement after weeks of tension. The strait is key for global oil trade. Over 800 ships were earlier stuck due to the conflict. The ceasefire came after last-minute talks between both sides. Iran had controlled the route during the war, affecting global supply. Reports say Iran and Oman may charge fees for ships. Officials said passage will be allowed under Iranian oversight. The move signals a slow return to normal shipping activity in the region.
