Fada Hossein Maleki, a member of Iran's National Security Committee, reportedly said that one of Iran's conditions in the talks with Oman was that the United States would not participate. He described the contacts as in their final stage and said an agreement with Oman could be 'one of the greatest victories of the Islamic Republic against the US.' Maleki added that traffic arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz would be determined according to Iran's discretion.
Fada Hossein Maleki, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, stated that Tehran has conditioned the ongoing talks with Oman on the exclusion of the United States from the negotiations. He characterized the diplomatic contacts as being in their final stage and predicted that an agreement with Oman would be a major victory for Iran against the US. Maleki also asserted that the Islamic Republic would determine the traffic arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz at its own discretion.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the multifaceted negotiations surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. In recent weeks, Iran has set sweeping conditions for reopening the waterway, including demands for the withdrawal of US forces and compensation. The United States and Gulf states have rejected Tehran's demand for transit fees, viewing it as an unacceptable monetization of a critical international waterway. Maleki's statement reflects the hardline stance within Iran's political establishment, emphasizing that any agreement will be strictly between Iran and Oman, without direct US involvement.
