Hormuz deal, Iran terms
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei announced Iran’s conditions for ending the war and reaching an agreement with Oman on the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Baghaei said Iran’s “considerations and conditions of the Islamic Republic of Iran for ending the imposed war on all fronts and restoring security to the Persian Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz have been clearly and firmly explained,” and he said Tehran would provide a necessary response to American proposals through mediators.
Baghaei added that Iran and Oman agreed on “the geographical coordinates of safe inbound and outbound routes in the Strait of Hormuz,” and he said the two sides also reached an understanding on how to reflect the matter at the relevant international body. The Mehr News Agency report framed the consultations between Iran and Oman as having been carried out “well,” with the safe-route coordinates and the international-venue handling described as part of the same agreement.
Safe routes and international venue
Iran and Oman reached an agreement on the geographical coordinates of safe routes for movement through the Strait of Hormuz, and the agreement also covered how those coordinates would be announced to the relevant international authority. The namayandeganema.ir report attributed the statement to Ismail Baghaei and said Iran’s conditions for ending the war on all fronts and restoring security to the Persian Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz had been “clearly and firmly defined.”
Baghaei told reporters that “the necessary response to the other side's proposals will be provided through the mediators,” linking the safe-route talks with Iran’s response process in the Iran-US negotiations. The Mashregh report similarly described Iran and Oman as agreeing on “the geographic coordinates of safe routes to and from the Strait of Hormuz,” and it said the two sides also agreed on how to reflect the issue at the international authorities level concerned, “God willing, it will be done soon.”
Diplomatic framing and response
Hamshahri Online said Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei described Iran’s conditions for ending the war and restoring security to the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz as “clearly and decisively” stated. Hamshahri Online also quoted Baghaei saying that “the necessary reply will be provided through mediators,” in response to United States proposals in the Iran-US negotiations.
Hamshahri Online reported that Baghaei said Iran and Oman reached an agreement on the geographic coordinates of safe routes for movement and their designation in the relevant international authority. Hamshahri Online further reported Baghaei’s claim that Iran has “spared no effort to restore security to the Strait of Hormuz” in consultation with Oman as the other coastal state of the waterway.
