Iran-Oman maritime agreement does not mean reopening Strait of Hormuz: Mehr
Iran's Mehr news agency says a new maritime deal with Oman does not signal the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains subject to US conditions.
An understanding between Iran and Oman does not provide for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. According to an Iranian source who spoke to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the arrangement establishes the basis on which the strait could reopen.
The source said the arrangement would be a step towards Iran exercising sovereignty over the strait.
The reopening of the strait depends entirely on the United States meeting Tehran's conditions, according to the Iranian source.
