Pars Today – The spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is subject to the Islamic Republic's specific mechanisms and conditions and has nothing to do with negotiations between Iran and Oman.
According to Pars Today, citing IRIB, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, spokesperson for the IRGC, addressed the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the requirements for reopening it, saying:
"The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz has its own specific legal and defensive mechanisms. This issue is entirely independent and has no connection whatsoever to the process of negotiations between Iran and Oman."
Emphasizing the strategic importance of the waterway, he added:
"In the Islamic Republic of Iran's calculations, the Strait of Hormuz is not merely an economic passage or waterway. Rather, it represents the country's superior geopolitical capacity and power, which is utilized in accordance with Iran's defense and sovereignty policies."
The IRGC spokesperson continued: "The reopening of the Strait is entirely subject to the conditions officially established and communicated by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The manner and timing of its reopening will directly depend on the extent to which the United States accepts these conditions.
Brigadier General Mohebbi, referring to obstruction and interference by the U.S. side in regional affairs, stressed that the enemy must fully accept Iran's legal and reasonable conditions for these transportation routes to be reopened. The United States must completely refrain from interfering in negotiations currently underway between Iran and Oman, or with other regional countries, which are entering their final stages.
He concluded by emphasizing that whenever the U.S. side accepts the conditions set by the Islamic Republic of Iran and abandons its interventionist approach, the conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz will certainly be in place."
