Hormuz Strait Will Not Open If U.S. Conduct Remains Unchanged

If the United States continues to violate agreements, the Hormuz Strait will not open even if Iran and Oman reach an agreement on the rules for maritime passage. This was reported by Iran's state television, referencing informed sources.

According to the source, ongoing negotiations between Iran and Oman are exclusively about organizing navigation through the Hormuz Strait and have no relation to the U.S. The report notes that any potential agreement will not automatically mean the reopening of the Strait.

According to the source, the opening of the Hormuz Strait will depend on a change in U.S. conduct and, as noted, the elimination of violations committed by Washington.

Earlier, the Speaker of Iran's Parliament stated that if Iran cannot sell its oil, then no one in the region will be able to do so. In recent days, attacks on oil tankers have also been recorded near the coasts of Oman.
