Iran has stated it will open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks\nfollowing the agreed ceasefire between the United States (US) and Iran.\nCurrently, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry (Kemlu) has revealed that two\nPertamina-owned tankers are still unable to pass through the Strait of\nHormuz.<\/p>\n
The government is continuing diplomatic efforts to enable these\noil-carrying ships to transit. Indonesia\u2019s Kemlu, along with the\nIndonesian Embassy in Tehran, has coordinated with the Iranian\ngovernment. They have also communicated with the Iranian embassy in\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main point is that we are striving to ensure the Pertamina ships\ncan cross the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d said Kemlu spokesperson Vahd Nabyl\nduring a press conference at the Kemlu office in Central Jakarta on\nWednesday (8\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this is also being handled by the Foreign Minister in meetings\nwith the Iranian Ambassador, as well as by our Ambassador in Tehran with\nIranian authorities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He mentioned that several technical matters are being addressed to\nallow the Pertamina ships to pass. The government must also ensure the\nsafety of the crew transiting the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd currently, the developments underway involve several quite\ntechnical issues that are being followed up to ensure safety for\ncrossing there. This includes, among other things, matters like\ninsurance and crew readiness,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Nabyl stated that all parties must comply with international law. The\ngovernment wants freedom of navigation to be respected.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd as mentioned at the beginning, in principle, we certainly want\nto request that freedom of navigation be respected in accordance with\ninternational law and UNCLOS,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nabyl noted that there are currently two Pertamina-owned ships\ndetained in the Strait of Hormuz: the Pertamina Pride and the MT\nGamsunoro. The government is working to resolve issues related to\nnational interests.<\/p>\n
Trump Claims Victory<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump has claimed that the US has achieved a\n\u201ctotal and complete victory\u201d after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire with\nIran. Trump believes the ceasefire will lead to a long-term agreement\nbetween the US and Iran as negotiations continue this week.<\/p>\n
As reported by AFP on Wednesday (8\/4), Trump appeared optimistic\nabout the ceasefire with Iran, which he announced just before the\ndeadline he had set for a massive attack on Tehran.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive telephone interview with AFP after the announcement,\nTrump also expressed his belief that China had persuaded Iran to\nnegotiate and said that Tehran\u2019s enriched uranium would be \u201chandled\nperfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA total and complete victory. 100 percent. No doubt about it,\u201d Trump\nsaid in the brief interview with AFP when asked if he was claiming\nvictory with the ceasefire.<\/p>\n
Trump, in an announcement via Truth Social on Tuesday (7\/4) evening,\nsaid he \u201cagreed to suspend bombing and attacks on Iran for two weeks.\u201d\nHowever, he warned that this came with conditions, namely that Iran must\nreopen the Strait of Hormuz \u201cFULLY, IMMEDIATELY, and SAFELY.\u201d<\/p>\n
With uncertainty regarding arrangements for reopening the Strait of\nHormuz for oil traffic in particular, Trump insisted there is a strong\nframework for a long-term deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a 15-point transaction, most of which has been agreed upon.\nWe\u2019ll see what happens. We\u2019ll see if the deal is reached,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump, in his statement, referred to the 10-point proposal submitted\nby Iran as a basis for further negotiations and \u201cimplementable.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Trump did not answer firmly when asked if he would return to\nhis threats to destroy Iran\u2019s civilian power plants and bridges if\nfurther negotiations fail to produce an agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll have to see for yourself,\u201d Trump told AFP.<\/p>\n
Mojtaba: Not the End of the War<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has instructed all military\nunits of his country to cease attacks following the agreed two-week\nceasefire with the US. However, Mojtaba also warned that the ceasefire\n\u201cis not the end of the war.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khamenei\u2019s statement, as reported by NDTV and Hindustan Times on\nWednesday (8\/4), was delivered by the state-owned Islamic Republic of\nIran Broadcasting (IRIB) station after the US and Iran announced they\nhad agreed to a two-week ceasefire in negotiations mediated by\nPakistan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not the end of the war, but all military branches must obey\nthe Supreme Leader\u2019s orders and stop firing,\u201d said Mojtaba Khamenei in\nhis statement.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council separately issued a similar\nwarning, stating that \u201cour finger remains on the trigger,\u201d signalling\nTehran\u2019s readiness to strike if the enemy acts in any way.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is emphasised that this does not signify the end of the war,\u201d the\nSupreme National Security Council of Iran stated in a release after the\nceasefire announcement with the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur finger remains on the trigger, and if the enemy makes the\nslightest mistake, it will be responded to with full force,\u201d the Supreme\nNational Security Council of Iran asserted.<\/p>\n
Mojtaba\u2019s statement was released while he was reported to be\nunconscious and undergoing emergency medical treatment in the city of\nQom, Iran.<\/p>\n
His condition has raised serious doubts about who is actually leading\nIran amid the war raging against the US and Israel in recent weeks.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/indonesias-foreign-ministry-efforts-to-ensure-strait-of-hormuz-open-for-two-pertamina-ships-1775656336", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
