The US president Donald Trump in a social media post has said that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open “with no further Naval Blockade,” Al Jazeera reported.
“However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary,” added Trump.
He also claimed Iran has “fully and completely agreed to highest level nuclear inspections”.
“If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The US president further claimed that funds and sanctions relief being released to Iran would be held in escrow accounts “controlled by the USA.” and used exclusively for “the purchase of food and medical supplies” from the United States, including “corn, wheat, and soybeans from our great American farmers”.
Meanwhile, Oman and Iran have said that all arrangements related to the Strait of Hormuz must fully respect their sovereign rights, the Oman news agency has said.
The agency said that following talks in Muscat, the two countries had renewed their commitment to preserving the Strait of Hormuz as a safe, open waterway for international navigation, and affirmed the importance of continuing cooperation to enhance maritime safety, freedom of navigation, and regional stability.
