Negotiations to reopen the Hormuz Strait in exchange for lifting US sanctions and releasing Iran’s frozen assets have reached a decisive stage, according to reports. A Qatari mediation team has urgently arrived in Tehran to finalize a memorandum of understanding that could pave the way for 30 days of nuclear-related discussions. The United States has maintained that Iran will not be allowed to impose tolls on commercial vessels passing through the strait.
Qatar, long regarded as a skilled regional mediator, had not previously taken a direct role in the US-Iran standoff, which was earlier handled by Oman and more recently Pakistan. Pakistan’s army chief is also expected in Tehran, while Iran remains cautious about the prospects of major progress. Meanwhile, US media have reported that Washington is considering new military action against Iran, though no final decision has been made.
Iran has formed the Persian Gulf Strait Authority to regulate maritime routes and tolls, a move opposed by the US and several Gulf states. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have urged ships to avoid contact with the Iranian authority, warning that Tehran’s plan could set a dangerous precedent for regional maritime control.
