Accepted Answer

Iran will administer the Strait of Hormuz under new rules
Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the Strait of Hormuz will be administered by Tehran under new rules, and that it will not return to its pre-war conditions. He said this would be done in accordance with international law, after talks involving efforts to end the US-Israeli war on Iran. Iran and the United States also agreed to set up communication lines to keep the vital shipping route open.
Tehran’s administration under the new framework
Ghalibaf stated that the Strait of Hormuz “will never return to its pre-war conditions” and will be administered by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The statement was reported by Iranian state media, with Ghalibaf speaking on his return from talks. He also linked the statement to discussions that covered the strait and Lebanon.
The talks that followed discussions on the strait
The comments came after a first round of talks held in Switzerland toward ending a conflict that has engulfed the Middle East. Mediators said Iran and the United States agreed on Monday to establish communication lines and end fighting in Lebanon. The strait reopening and subsequent closure were part of the broader timeline around these negotiations.
Agreement on communication lines for commercial shipping
Qatari and Pakistani mediators reported that Tehran and Washington agreed to set up a line of communication to avoid incidents and miscommunication. The aim was safe passage for commercial vessels through the strait. This arrangement was tied to efforts to keep the shipping route functioning amid the dispute.
Sanctions and asset steps tied to the same deal
The United States temporarily suspended sanctions on Iranian oil on Monday after Vice President JD Vance said UN nuclear inspectors would be allowed back into Iran. As part of the deal, Tehran was also set to receive some form of sanctions relief and the unfreezing of assets. Ghalibaf said the talks produced “good achievements,” including discussion of oil waivers and releasing frozen funds.
