Iran-US standoff: IRGC, Foreign Ministry clarify Hormuz reopening conditions via Oman talks

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

IRGC: Reopening Hormuz is Iran’s decision alone, unrelated to the Oman talks. It happens only when the US fully accepts Iran’s conditions. Iran Foreign Ministry: The Oman deal is close but does not reopen the strait. Full reopening depends on the US honoring the June memorandum. ‘Iran is talking to Oman, not to US.’ (The Oman deal is not the reopening. It sets shipping lanes. The standoff between US and Iran for now stays.)
