Iran's Baghaei: No talks with US currently regarding Hormuz

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, stated on Monday that Tehran is not currently engaged in talks with the United States over reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, Iran is working with Oman to establish a temporary safe route through the strategically important waterway, which accounts for nearly 20% of global energy supply.

Baghaei emphasized that reaching an agreement with Oman alone is not sufficient for the Strait's reopening as long as the US maintains its aggressive stance. The impact on oil prices remains unchanged despite Baghaei's comments, with WTI Oil trading 7.45% lower at approximately $78.70.
