An IRGC spokesman said Iran and Oman negotiated roughly a month ago over the
Strait of Hormuz and reached a mutually acceptable outcome, including agreements
on allocation of maritime areas in the strait and division of revenues between
Iran and Oman. Progress was delayed by US interference. The spokesman said if
the US stops interfering and returns to the memorandum of understanding, Iran
can open the strait within the agreed framework, but the US must accept Iran’s
conditions; if the US does not accept those conditions, the Strait of Hormuz
will absolutely not open.
