Spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that the negotiations seek to end the war, highlighting that the Strait of Hormuz remains under restrictions for hostile military ships and that the country seeks to create security mechanisms with Oman
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said messages were being exchanged with the US, but that, for now, no final agreement had been reached yet. In comments this Friday, the 29th, he said that negotiations are focused on ending the war and that nuclear issues are not being discussed in detail at this stage.
Baghaei declared that the Strait of Hormuz has been under “special measures” by Iran since the start of the war and is closed to military vessels that are considered “hostile”. However, according to him, commercial ships have been transiting the route in coordination with Iranian authorities.
According to the spokesperson, Iran and Oman must establish mechanisms that preserve their national interests and security, in addition to assuring the international community that navigation along this route is carried out safely, amid the impasse in negotiations with Washington over control of the important maritime route.
The US argues that the location involves “international waters” and, therefore, no one should gain control of the region.
