Iran Says No Strait of Hormuz Deal With US as Indirect Talks Continue 3 Months On

Ali Bagheri said Iran and the US have reached no agreement on the Strait of Hormuz, adding that in Tehran’s view “we have agreed on nothing” until all issues are settled.
The talks matter because the waterway has been effectively shut since the war began in February, disrupting passage through one of the world’s most vital shipping routes.
Bagheri said Iran is instead negotiating with Oman on a new mechanism for ships to pass the strait, framing Muscat and Tehran as the adjacent coastal states managing access.
He also said Iran’s enriched uranium is “not on the agenda” in the indirect US talks, contradicting Donald Trump’s claim this week that the material would be sent to the US immediately for destruction.
As the world economy suffers, can a new Iran-Oman pact for the Strait of Hormuz actually reopen the vital oil waterway?
