Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Tuesday afternoon that during negotiations, Iran's main position was the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports and other essential issues. He accused the other side of violating its commitments, while claiming Iran's achievements exceeded expectations. The remarks follow a similar statement earlier Tuesday in which Pezeshkian accused the US of violations.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a new statement Tuesday afternoon providing additional details on his country's negotiating position in ongoing talks. Pezeshkian said that Iran's main demand was the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports and other essential issues, and accused the other side of violating its commitments. He claimed that Iran's achievements in the negotiations surpassed expectations.
The statement follows similar remarks earlier Tuesday, when Pezeshkian said the negotiations had exceeded expectations and accused the United States of violating commitments, as The Zioneer reported at 13:15 Jerusalem. The new comments add specificity about the Hormuz issue, which has been a central point in the talks.
The Strait of Hormuz reopening has been a key issue in the US-Iran negotiations, with the Trump administration's 'Islamabad Agreement' framework including provisions for maritime de-escalation and sanctions relief, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The negotiations have seen repeated accusations of non-compliance from both sides.
Pezeshkian's latest remarks do not explicitly name the other side, but earlier statements this week pointed to the United States. No independent confirmation of the alleged violations is available.
