Fars: Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iran's management

Iran's semi-official Fars news agency has countered U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that the Strait of Hormuz would fully reopen as part of a peace agreement with Tehran. Fars asserts that such claims are "far from reality."

Based on the latest exchanged text, if a potential agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be under Iran's management.

According to the agency, any potential deal would see Iran continue to manage the crucial waterway. "Based on the latest exchanged text, if a potential agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be under Iran's management," Fars reported. This management includes the authority to set passage routes, timing, and methods, as well as issue permits.

While Iran has agreed to allow the number of passing ships to return to the pre-war level, this does not mean 'free passage' in the pre-war state.

Fars clarified that while Iran might agree to allow the number of passing ships to return to pre-war levels, this concession does not signify "free passage" in the pre-war sense. The agency emphasized that "the management of the Strait, the determination of the route, the timing, the method of passage, and the issuance of permits, will remain exclusively under the control and discretion of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Therefore, the agency concluded, Trump's claims regarding the strait are "incomplete and do not reflect reality." The report by Fars, which cited Reuters, highlights ongoing tensions and differing interpretations of potential diplomatic outcomes between Iran and the United States.
