Iran sets condition for opening the Strait of Hormuz

Iran has denied Trump's claims about negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that Tehran is not in dialogue with the US, but is only discussing a temporary safe route with Oman. Full opening of the strait is impossible as long as American 'aggression' continues. The statement came after Trump announced plans to start talks and called off a strike on Iran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei has denied reports of direct dialogue with the United States over the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, Tehran is not holding any negotiations with Washington, but is only discussing with Oman the possibility of creating a temporary safe route. Baghaei stressed that even a possible agreement with the Omani side would not lead to the full opening of the strait, and the complete unblocking of shipping would remain impossible as long as American 'aggression' continues. This statement came against the backdrop of remarks by US President Donald Trump, who on Sunday evening announced the upcoming launch of negotiations with Iran to conclude a deal on opening the strategic waterway. Trump made this statement after once again canceling a large-scale strike on the Islamic Republic, which had been planned for the weekend. Earlier, Kursor wrote about why Trump did not strike Iran and what Israel should fear.
