Hamad bin Jassim: Hormuz pact needs Yemen Lebanon Iraq
Former Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim emphasized that the success of any agreement to restore navigation freedom in the Strait of Hormuz depends on the inclusion of provisions related to Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. He stated that the opening of the strait should be permanent rather than temporary, with maritime traffic returning to normal without conditions or fees. He called for lifting the siege on Iran, releasing its assets, and halting escalation in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. He underscored the importance of reaching a clear agreement that ends the siege and ensures the gradual lifting of sanctions. His remarks come in the context of an Iranian-American proposal that includes a seven-day ceasefire and opening the strait in exchange for lifting some sanctions. However, Washington rejected the proposal, considering it unacceptable. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most vital global maritime passages, used for transporting about one-fifth of the world's oil supplies.
