Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Iran has reached an agreement with the Sultanate of Oman establishing a regulated transit route for commercial vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz, confirming that Iran's Supreme Leader has been briefed on the details.
Speaking on diplomatic efforts to resolve ongoing regional maritime disruptions, Pezeshkian stated that Tehran remains prepared to fully reopen the strategic waterway if Washington upholds its end of the bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
"We have informed the Supreme Leader regarding the agreed path with the Sultanate of Oman for vessel transit in the Strait of Hormuz," President Masoud Pezeshkian stated. "If the United States fulfills its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding, we will open the strait."
Tehran lays out strict conditions for Washington
The Iranian president outlined four key requirements that the United States must meet before the Strait of Hormuz is completely opened to unrestricted maritime traffic.
Pezeshkian stated that Washington must lift its naval blockade, eliminate economic sanctions, release frozen Iranian assets held in international banks, and compel 'Israel' to cease its military operations against Lebanon.
The statements come amid ongoing discussions mediated through regional partners to de-escalate maritime standoff measures in the Persian Gulf.
Emphasis on joint regional security with neighboring states
Concluding his remarks, President Pezeshkian reiterated Iran's commitment to diplomatic engagement with surrounding nations, calling for shared responsibility in safeguarding regional stability.
"It is essential to build good relations with neighboring countries and jointly guarantee security with them," Pezeshkian emphasized, asserting that Middle Eastern security must be managed internally by regional governments rather than foreign military powers.
