US Iran war live: Peace deal would see Strait of Hormuz opened ‘largely agreed’
Donald Trump’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen as part of a peace agreement is “far from reality”, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reports.
“Based on the latest exchanged text, if a possible agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will still be under Iran’s management,” it said. “Although Iran has agreed to allow the number of passing ships to return to the level before the war, this does not at all mean ‘free passage’ to the pre-war situation.”
The new agency added: “The management of the strait, determining the route, time, manner of passage, and issuing permits will remain exclusively under the control and discretion of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, Trump’s claim in this regard is incomplete and does not correspond to reality.”
