Iran Will Not Fully Open Hormuz
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirms that Tehran will not fully open the Strait of Hormuz to navigation until an understanding is reached with Washington. He indicated that implementing the American commitments outlined in the Islamabad memorandum is essential for opening the strait and initiating comprehensive negotiations. He added that talks are ongoing through intermediary countries, and that the United States is the one obstructing the diplomatic process and imposing restrictions on ships' movements in the strait, despite Iran's continued efforts to achieve an understanding that guarantees its full opening. He also emphasized that Iran asserts its sovereignty over the strait within its territorial waters and has prepared specific routes for passing ships once an agreement is reached. Furthermore, he clarified that the situation in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is not related to Iran, and that Iran is ready to mediate between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Araqchi confirmed that Iran will not yield to sanctions or military threats, and that its success in resisting American pressure constitutes a strategic defeat for Washington.
