Iranian sources: The Strait of Hormuz will remain blocked until a framework agreement is reached between the US and Iran

Golden Ten Data, April 12 — According to CNN, an Iranian security source stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain blocked until Iran and the United States reach a “common framework” to continue negotiations. The source said that the U.S. has made “excessive demands” on several issues, including key waterways, which so far has prevented both parties from reaching an agreement on common grounds and moving the negotiations forward. The source stated, “Iran is not in a hurry to take action.” He also noted that Tehran has informed the U.S. that until a common framework is achieved, “the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain unchanged,” and “even the previously agreed number of vessels allowed to pass will not be realized.” If U.S. negotiators do not demonstrate “a realistic prospect,” the strait will remain closed.
