Iran says the deal with Oman is in its final stages, but the US must act to open the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
Iranian authorities said negotiations with Oman are in the final stage, but the US must take concrete steps to open the Strait of Hormuz. This statement was made amid rising tensions in the region.
According to Reuters, the Iranian side said that the negotiations being conducted through Oman are close to a positive result, but without concrete actions from the US, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz is impossible. The strait is considered a vital artery for oil transportation in the region.
Iran's statement has drawn significant attention from the international community. The Strait of Hormuz accounts for about one-fifth of global oil exports, so its closure could significantly impact the global energy market.
According to a Reuters source, reaching an agreement between Iran and Oman at the final stage increases hopes for stability in the region. However, the US position on this matter plays a decisive role. The Iranian side demands that the US lift sanctions and take concrete steps to ensure freedom of navigation in the strait.
The development of this situation will become clearer in the near future. Global markets and politicians are closely monitoring the outcome of negotiations between Iran and the US.
