A direct line of communication for de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz has been used to contain confrontations over the past few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Responsibility for Hormuz demining primarily with Iran: Oman FM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Oman&#8217;s Foreign Ministry, Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Albusaidi told France\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Monte Carlo Doualiya<\/em>&nbsp;radio that \u201cresponsibility for ensuring the strait and internationally recognised shipping lanes are free of any mine-related hazards primarily rests with Iran\u201d as per the US-Iran MoU, as per&nbsp;<em>Al Jazeera<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also affirmed Oman\u2019s openness to contributing to regional and international efforts whenever requested. His comments come after Iranian outcry over the French president&#8217;s statement on collaborating with Oman to demine the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tehran said it alone has the responsibility for such operations in the waterway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meeting with Iran this week &#8216;perhaps&#8217; important: Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that, &#8220;The meeting in Doha is going to be perhaps important, perhaps not. We&#8217;re going to find out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time he maintained &#8220;we&#8217;re winning militarily&#8221; and repeated his condition that Iran must be stopped from producing a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian and US negotiating \u200bteams were due in Doha this week, but Iran said on Monday no meeting had been scheduled as weekend missile fire from both sides tested the interim ceasefire \u200cto end the four-month-old war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump is sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his envoy Steve Witkoff to lead the negotiating team, according to his press secretary Karoline Leavitt. While Iran is sending its technical delegation to Qatar this week, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said this had &#8220;no relation&#8221; to the Americans&#8217; visit and no talks between the two sides were scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We will not have any negotiation meetings at any level with the American side in the coming days,&#8221; Baghaei \u200bsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disagreement over whether the sides would even meet underscored the fragility of a June 17 accord to pause a conflict that has disrupted global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz \u200band created a political headache for Trump ahead of November&#8217;s congressional elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US and Iran gave themselves at least 60 days to implement the 14-point memorandum of \u2060understanding to extend an April ceasefire, discuss Iran&#8217;s nuclear program and negotiate a permanent truce. But progress has been halting, with each side accusing the other of violating agreed terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the US and Israel attacked Iran \u200bon February 28, maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow chokepoint that previously carried about a fifth of the global oil trade, came to a virtual standstill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel has not joined the US-Iran peace talks \u200band has distanced itself from the agreement. Tensions between Washington and Tehran have complicated efforts to end fighting in Lebanon, where Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, an ally of Hezbollah, has cast doubt on a separate, US-brokered agreement between Lebanon and Israel aimed at halting the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closure of the waterway sent oil prices above $100 a barrel, pushing up global inflation and putting pressure on Trump ahead of the midterm elections that will determine control of the US Congress, where some of his \u200bfellow Republicans have criticised the president for waging war without lawmakers&#8217; authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A senior Iranian official said there would be a meeting in Doha on Tuesday, but unlike previous technical talks between Iran and US teams in \u200bSwitzerland, the focus would be on managing the Strait of Hormuz and de-escalating tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another official with knowledge of the plans said technical teams from the US and Iran are expected to meet separately with Qatari and Pakistani mediators \u200con Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Iranian lawmaker says Hormuz an \u2018inseparable part of Iran\u2019s national sovereignty\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ebrahim Azizi, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament\u2019s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, has reiterated Tehran\u2019s claims over the Strait of Hormuz and called for an end to Israel\u2019s occupation of southern Lebanon, according to&nbsp;<em>Al Jazeera<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe strategic Strait of Hormuz is an inseparable part of Iran\u2019s national sovereignty, and its management is solely in the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran,\u201d he was quoted as saying by the&nbsp;<em>IRIB&nbsp;<\/em>state broadcaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLebanon\u2019s sovereignty will be secured not by disarming the resistance, but by ending the occupation and aggression,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Iran, France foreign ministers discuss US-Iran understanding in phone call<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot discussed the implementation of the US-Iran understanding in a phone call, state broadcaster IRIB reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, the two ministers exchanged views on the latest regional and international developments, focusing on the implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The talks, held Monday evening, centered on the provisions of the memorandum and its implementation process, intended to end the war and advance negotiations between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memorandum, under Pakistani mediation, entered into force on June 18 after being electronically signed by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It provides a framework for ending the conflict and addressing outstanding issues between Washington and Tehran through negotiations, including cessation of hostilities, sanctions relief, the nuclear file, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and broader regional security arrangements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN: Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Tuesday that Iran would meet Qatari mediators in Doha tomorrow to discuss implementation of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, including the release&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[57,1423],"class_list":["post-5417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-iran","tag-war-against-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
