image sourced from original article at Iran's Fars news agency reported that the Strait of Hormuz would remain under Iran's management according to the latest exchanged text between Iran and the United States. The report rejects President Donald Trump's recent claim that the waterway would be reopened as part of a largely negotiated agreement.
Trump had announced on social media that a deal with Iran was close and would include reopening the strategic strait, a crucial route for global oil shipments that Tehran has largely blocked for the past three months amid ongoing conflict. However, Fars described his statement as incomplete and inconsistent with reality, signaling continued disagreement over the status of the vital shipping lane.
