Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei clarified that the country is not negotiating with the US, but rather with Oman to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that the US is the source of trouble in the region and that Iran's diplomatic efforts focus on national interests.
Iran is not talking to the US right now, but it's talking to Oman to make sure ships can safely pass through a special waterway called the Strait of Hormuz. The US is causing problems in the area, and Iran wants to make sure its national interests are protected.
Analysis
Understanding with Oman: A Necessary but Not Sufficient Condition for Reopening the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz has been in trouble since March of last year, in the face of an illegal and unprovoked war of aggression launched by the United States and the Israeli regime. The strait had not been closed due to a disagreement between its coastal states; rather, it has been in trouble due to the US's evil acts, including the naval blockade of Iran and military aggression against its interests. A significant change in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is unlikely, as long as the US continues its evil acts.
Diplomacy Focused on National Interests
The country's diplomatic apparatus does not bring its personal opinion to the fore, but rather expresses the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and what is best for national interests and security. The diplomatic apparatus is not allowed to appease political currents, or under their influence. All factions and groups are respected, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes all the views of the critics. However, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the entire diplomatic apparatus are not allowed to indulge in fantasy imagery about war and peace. The reality is that Iran has not been given a choice between war and peace. America did not attack Iran in search of peace; Iran is in a real war, and in conditions of war, it must adhere to its requirements.
Regional Security and Collective Defense
Regional governments must fulfill their responsibilities and prevent the US from using their territory to launch attacks against Iran. Countries in the region should establish a regional mechanism capable of ensuring collective security. Iran does not attack other countries; its military actions are defensive strikes directed only against bases used as launch points for attacks and aggression against the country. Iran harbors no hostility toward any country in the region and remains committed to respecting their sovereignty.
Key points
- Iran is not currently negotiating with the US.
- Iran is negotiating with Oman to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
- The US is the source of trouble in the region.
- Iran's diplomatic efforts focus on national interests.
- Regional governments must fulfill their responsibilities to prevent the US from using their territory to launch attacks against Iran.
If the negotiations between Iran and Oman are successful, it could lead to a temporary arrangement that ensures maritime safety in the Strait of Hormuz. This could be a positive development for regional security and trade.
However, as long as the US continues its aggressive behavior, a significant change in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is unlikely. This could lead to continued instability and insecurity in the region.
