The story · English

Iran has denied reports claiming an agreement was reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Iranian news agency Fars, sources close to the nuclear negotiation team confirmed that no deal has been made regarding the strait's reopening. A senior military official emphasized that as long as the United States continues hostile actions, the strait will remain closed. Furthermore, naval passage will only be permitted along predetermined routes and with approval from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
