Iran's Negotiations and U.S. Relations

The Iranians are trying to emphasize, Zaher,

on more than one front. First, there are negotiations proceeding smoothly and taking

steady steps towards achieving progress,

leading to results that may be announced soon with the Omani side.

Through this, the Iranians want to

emphasize that they have no disagreement with the Omani side,

but rather there are commonalities regarding these waters in terms of

their management and ending any threat posed to the Iranian side, considering,

Zaher, that Tehran has said more than once that it does not want these waters,

specifically the Strait of Hormuz and the passage of military vessels through it,

to be used in ways that serve American interests in its aggression against

Iranian territory.

Consequently, it clearly wants to eliminate this threat, and this, it seems,

is what is aligned with the Omani side, on one hand.

On the other hand, it also wants to emphasize that negotiations with the

American side at this stage cannot take place.

In light of the United States' violations

of the terms of the memorandum of understanding And this was

clearly emphasized yesterday by the Iranian Foreign Ministry And we even heard it

from the Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian Parliament And of course,

concerned with national security, it also wanted to emphasize that

negotiating with the American side at

this stage cannot take place unless the United States returns to committing to the

terms of the memorandum of understanding At the same time, the Iranians

are also linking the situation of the Strait of Hormuz to the US return to

this memorandum, and no change will occur regarding the passage of

ships or whether it is closed, even if results are reached with

the Omani side.

This is the equation the Iranians wanted to emphasize over the past hours

since yesterday,

and we also heard this from a political tongue with a military flavor,

referring here to Mohsen Rezaee, who also wanted to

emphasize that the issue of the Strait of Hormuz And this card, which the Iranians

consider to be in their hands and which exerts pressure on the US administration,

cannot be squandered, and this equation cannot change, if the United States is

seeking to change that through the military option.

Thank you very much, Yasser Masoud, Al Araby TV correspondent,
