Iran's Foreign Minister has stated that Tehran and Oman are very close to agreeing on a temporary route through the Strait of Hormuz, but the strait's reopening remains conditional on the United States compensating for its violations of a peace memorandum (eastleighvoice.co.ke). The Iranian official emphasized that the U.S. must correct its behavior before any progress can be made.
Iran has also warned the U.S. that its new order regarding the Strait of Hormuz is irreversible, and that further costs will be incurred if Tehran’s conditions are not met (samaa.tv). The country insists that Washington must end the war and lift the blockade. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman are moving closer to a navigation agreement, though the U.S. continues to weigh its response (thisdaylive.com).
