Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Iranian chief negotiator, stated that the Strait of Hormuz will be administered by Tehran, according to state media reports issued on Tuesday. These statements followed discussions aimed at concluding conflict involving Iran and the United States. Mediators reported that during initial rounds of talks held in Switzerland, progress was made toward de-escalating tensions.
Specifically, it was reported that Iran and the US reached an understanding on Friday. This agreement reportedly focuses on establishing communication channels designed to maintain the operational status of the crucial sea transport route and to cease hostilities in Lebanon. Following his participation in the talks, the Iranian chief negotiator, Ghalibaf, addressed the future status of the waterway.
Citing IRNA and foreign media reports, he asserted that the Strait of Hormuz “will never return to pre-war conditions and will be administered by the Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with international law.”
The discussions represent an effort to mediate the broader Middle East conflict. The participation of the Iranian delegation and its chief negotiator underscores the ongoing diplomatic efforts to manage regional stability. The reported agreements suggest a multilateral framework is being established to manage critical maritime passages and reduce military conflict across the region.
