According to a regional analysis account, Iran stated that even if an agreement is reached with Oman without US involvement, its implementation would still require the US to lift the naval blockade, remove export restrictions, and release frozen funds as agreed in the Islamabad framework. The statement reiterates and specifies Iran's longstanding conditions for de-escalation.
Iran has reiterated its conditions for implementing any agreement involving Oman, specifying that US compliance is required even if a separate Iran-Oman deal is reached without Washington's involvement. According to a regional analysis account, Iran's demands include: lifting the US naval blockade, removing export restrictions, and releasing frozen funds previously agreed upon in the Islamabad agreement framework.
The message, circulated minutes after The Zioneer reported a similar Iranian statement at 22:16, provides a detailed list of the conditions Tehran views as prerequisites. The demands reference the broader Islamabad agreement, which The Zioneer has reported on extensively since June, including reports of a tentative nuclear framework and subsequent Iranian threats to stall implementation over US withdrawal and financial demands.
The statement underscores the persistent gap between US and Iranian positions. While Washington has maintained that benefits under any memorandum of understanding are conditional on Iran's performance, Tehran continues to insist on upfront concessions before implementing its own commitments.
