Iran, Oman reached agreement on Strait of Hormuz based on US MoU, Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says

Iran and Oman have reached an agreement concerning the regulation of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf announced the deal, stating it is based on Article V of a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States.

The Israelis are undoubtedly seeking to disrupt the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding, but the deterrent power of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region will prevent them from starting a war again.

Ghalibaf expressed confidence in Iran's regional deterrent capabilities, asserting that the country's power would prevent Israel from initiating conflict. He also declared that the United States would not be permitted to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz. "The Americans pursue a unilateral policy globally," Ghalibaf said, highlighting the importance of close political and economic coordination between Iran and China to mitigate tensions and prevent their escalation.

“

The Americans pursue a unilateral policy globally, and to reduce tensions and prevent their spread, close coordination in the political and economic arenas between Iran and China is of great importance.

Responding to Ghalibaf's remarks, He Wei, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress, pledged to further strengthen the bond between China and Iran. He noted that the current year marks the 55th anniversary of official Iran-China relations and the 10th anniversary of their strategic partnership. Wei stated China's readiness to leverage this occasion to enhance bilateral relations, underscoring the deep-rooted friendship between the two nations.

The friendship between China and Iran is a long-standing friendship, and we will further develop the relations between the two countries.
