Cevani told the Young Journalists Club, affiliated with Iranian state television, that the war should end on the basis of the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States.
Cevani made the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz conditional on the United States fulfilling its commitments under the memorandum of understanding. He said the arrangements in the strait would not return to their pre-war state.
Cevani said discussions about the strait’s future status could be held after it is definitively established that the war has ended. He added that only after this stage could the Strait of Hormuz be considered solely as a waterway between Iran and Oman.
