An Iranian deputy foreign minister says the two-month US naval blockade on Iranian ports has been lifted ahead of the planned formal signing of a deal ending the war, AFP reports.
“The lifting of the blockade was something we had emphasised from the outset. It has now begun, and the blockade has been lifted prior to the formal signing” scheduled for Friday, says Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi, according to the Iranian government’s website.
