Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
Iran’s Tasnim news agency has reported that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until a ceasefire in Lebanon holds. The agency stated that oil waivers have been issued.
Meanwhile, US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has visited Switzerland and stated that oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is already returning to normal levels.
However, Iran’s state-run news agency has claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is closed again. It is worth noting that few ships were leaving the area in the first place.
In a separate statement, Energy Secretary Granholm forecasted further declines in oil prices and stated that the Strait of Hormuz oil flow is “back towards normal”.
The situation remains fluid, with multiple reports and statements from various sources.
