Iran chief negotiator says Hormuz will be administered by Tehran: State media
Ghalibaf said Tehran will control the waterway as talks produced communication lines for commercial ships and sanctions relief, mediators said.
- On Tuesday, Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared the Strait of Hormuz will be administered by Tehran, asserting it will 'never return to its pre-war conditions' following negotiations in Switzerland.
- Vice President JD Vance described his lengthy discussions with senior Iranian officials as a 'good foundation for a successful final deal' to end the conflict that began in late February.
- Tehran and Washington agreed to establish communication lines 'to avoid incidents and miscommunication with the aim of safe passage for commercial vessels,' while the United States temporarily eased sanctions on Iranian oil after UN nuclear inspectors were permitted to return.
- President Donald Trump warned Monday he would 'do what I have to do' if Iran fails to adhere to the agreement, emphasizing compliance with terms established by his administration.
- Although Tehran previously closed the waterway Saturday following Israeli attacks in Lebanon, mediators report traffic is now flowing at a faster pace, marking a shift in volatility surrounding the critical maritime route.
