The same report says Tehran has indicated that putting a reopening arrangement into effect depends on resolving disagreements over what it considers US breaches of the memorandum of understanding signed in June.

Al-Jazirah Net adds that Qatar’s spokesperson said the form of managing the strait after the crisis, including the issue of imposing fees, is a matter to be discussed by those concerned from regional countries.

In the Al-Jazirah Net account, Qatar also says it relies on the international community to press for implementation of a Gaza agreement, while calling Israeli escalation in the West Bank and Gaza for an international stance and a response commensurate with continued behavior.
