Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi declared on Wednesday that the Strait of Hormuz will under no circumstances be reopened unless the United States accepts Iran's conditions, stating that the waterway could only open if Washington ceases its obstruction and adheres to the memorandum of understanding.
​Speaking to Tasnim News Agency, Mohebbi accused the U.S. of obstructing the ongoing negotiation process and causing delays, asserting that the Strait of Hormuz remains under full Iranian control. He claimed that all foreign warships have withdrawn at least 400 kilometers from the strait, stating that no vessel can transit the strategic waterway without Iranian authorization and administrative management, including the shipping lane adjacent to Oman.
​Mohebbi emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz belongs jointly to Iran and the Sultanate of Oman, describing the outcomes of bilateral discussions held over the past month as "mutually acceptable." He noted that agreements were reached defining each country's respective share of the waterway's territorial waters as well as revenue-sharing arrangements.
