The Majlis approved the Hormuz Agreement
The National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) officially approved the bill for The Hormuz Agreement. The document, prepared jointly with Oman as a mediator, regulates the new rules for passage through the strategic strait. According to the news agency Reuters (reuters.com), the new agreement provides for an unprecedented concession in favor of Tehran - Iran will receive full operational control over incoming ship traffic in the Persian Gulf.
The routes will pass directly through Iranian territorial waters, with ships paying fees for maritime services and environmental protection. According to statements by Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi, quoted by Al Jazeera (aljazeera.com), the framework agreed with Muscat has been finalized at an expert level and awaits final approval from the top state leadership.
Trump ready to end the war without a nuclear deal
At the same time, the US president Donald Trump demonstrates serious readiness for a quick exit from the conflict. The authoritative publication The Wall Street Journal (wsj.com) reported, citing its sources in the White House, that Trump has informed his advisers of his readiness to sign a peace agreement even without reaching a new nuclear deal with Iran.
The main priority for the US administration is the full and immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping in order to stabilize global fuel prices before the upcoming midterm elections in November. However, the relaxation of American pressure is met with new demands from Tehran, including the payment of billions of dollars in reparations and the complete lifting of the naval blockade. Washington's position is that military objectives have been met and security of energy supplies remains the leading motive, reports The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com).
