It is accusing the US of breaking an agreement by maintaining a naval blockade over Iranian ports. Tehran had eased restrictions following a 10-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. It led to about a dozen commercial ships passing through the waterway, according to shipping data. But reports say some merchant vessels have since been told that no ships are allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's re-imposition of curbs on the waterway is casting doubt over ceasefire talks. The US president said he had “pretty good news” about Iran, without giving details. But he also suggested that fighting could resume by Wednesday, if no peace deal is reached.

Non-oil domestic exports rose 15.3% on-year — a jump from the 4% growth in February and extending gains for a seventh straight month. Electronics shipments surged 74% on the back of strong demand for integrated circuits. However, analysts said the strong performance is unlikely to be sustained.
