Iranian officials officially rejected reports on Sunday that an accord had been established to resume operations at the Strait of Hormuz. This rebuttal directly challenges recent statements made by United States President Donald Trump.
Although President Trump suggested that foundational elements of a deal were in place after he aborted a scheduled military strike, the Iranian Fars news agency denied these claims. Citing a high-ranking military official, the agency stated that no agreement exists. The source emphasized that the strait remains shut as long as the U.S. maintains its current hostile stance.
Furthermore, the official noted that any future vessel transit would require specific authorization from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy and must adhere to designated navigation paths. This disagreement highlights the ongoing disparity between the diplomatic narratives presented by Washington and Tehran. Earlier on Sunday, President Trump claimed on Truth Social that he canceled a military operation following requests from Middle Eastern nations, asserting that key terms for a potential settlement had been finalized while simultaneously warning of U.S. military readiness.
