Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi, announced that the agreement recently signed with Oman will not result in the reopening of the Strait of Ormuz. The statement was made today, according to the news agency that reported the information.
Araghchi specified that the reopening of the strait is conditioned on the resumption of commitments by the United States. This condition indicates that Tehran maintains its position of linking any de-escalation gesture to the behavior of the American administration.
The Strait of Ormuz is a waterway of vital strategic importance for world oil trade, being one of the main routes for the transport of hydrocarbons from the Middle East. Any restriction on traffic through this passage has a significant impact on global energy markets.
This announcement comes in the context of recent negotiations between Iran and Oman, although the specific details of that agreement are not mentioned in the article now available.
