Iran Rejected a US Proposal to Keep the Strait of Hormuz Open During Talks in Oman, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi

Iran rejected a US proposal to keep the Strait of Hormuz open during talks in Oman, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said. He told Iranian media that the US insisted on maintaining shipping traffic through the strait until negotiations conclude, but the Iranian delegation refused. “Our fundamental policy will not change regardless of the outcome.

We did not accept this proposal. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the new wave of clashes continue. That is the true manifestation of honorable diplomacy, he said.”
