According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, an informed source stated that reports by Saudi Arabia's Al Arabiya TV that Iran had offered the United States the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the maritime blockade were pure lies and fabrications. The source stated that Iran would never accept any proposal to exchange the Strait of Hormuz for the lifting of the blockade. Iran will bypass the blockade through its own means and ultimately break it. The source emphasized that, as Iranian officials have clearly stated, Iran's firm position is based on the seven conditions formally presented by the mediators, and any further speculation or conjecture by the media is worthless.
