AIThe Iranian Revolutionary Guard has stated that Tehran will not sign any agreement as long as the threat of a military attack against it persists.
A Revolutionary Guard official, quoted by the Guard-affiliated Sepah News website, said that the lack of progress in ongoing talks with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz is due to US interference and threats from President Donald Trump.
The official added that as long as US intervention and the threat of military action against Iran continue, reaching an agreement will be delayed. Iran will not enter into any agreement under such threats.
Iran resumed negotiations with Oman on Monday, aiming to establish safe passage routes for ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei announced on Tuesday that progress had been made in technical and political discussions with Oman to define secure shipping lanes in the strait.
It is worth noting that Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18 and began negotiations for a final agreement, but disagreements later emerged over ensuring the freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
