| 0:00.0 | Hey there from CNN. I'm David Rind with the five things you need to know for Friday, April 17th. |
| 0:07.0 | Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is open. Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi says the passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open in line with the ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah that was announced |
| 0:21.6 | yesterday. |
| 0:22.6 | The key passage has basically been shut since the war broke out, kicking up oil prices worldwide |
| 0:27.6 | and spiking gas prices here in the U.S. |

| 1:16.3 | actually moving out. |
| 1:17.8 | Trump wrote on true social this morning, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports would remain |
| 1:21.9 | in place until their deal with Iran is, quote, 100% complete. |
| 1:26.7 | The president has said the next round of talks between the U.S. and Iran could happen as soon |
| 1:30.3 | as this weekend. |
| 1:31.3 | The two-week ceasefire is set to expire next week. |
