Agreement on Opening the Strait of Hormuz – Statement Made in Iran

Iran's Fars news agency has denied reports of an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz, calling them false. Military sources confirmed that the strait remains blocked, and shipping requires coordination with the IRGC. Analysts see radical groups as an obstacle.

Iran's semi-official Fars news agency has denied reports of an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, international media reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had supported a US-Qatar initiative to redistribute control over the waterway between Iran and Oman. A representative of the Iranian delegation at the talks officially called these reports false. Military sources in Iran stressed that the strategic waterway remains blocked, and no ship can pass without prior coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Analysts note that radical groups remain a significant obstacle to real diplomatic compromises, and experts have doubts about the degree of control Tehran's official diplomacy has over these forces in dialogue with the US. Earlier, Kursor reported on Iran's defense minister saying that Tehran will not ignore any threats, even if they are part of psychological pressure.
